I'm flying DFW-SLC this saturday for a daytrip this weekend and have a bunch of stuff I'm planning to take to SLC and leave there. When I booked my ticket, I searched for DFW-SLC roundtrip, and one of the options it showed was DFW-SLC outbound, SLC-LAX-DFW returning for far, far less than any of the other non-stop or connecting routings. All told, I'll be in SLC for about 5 hours (plenty of time to conduct the business I have planned, absent any flight delays) and have a 2.5 hour connection in LAX.

HOWEVER

DL.Com and the App both show my destination as LAX (the receipt still lists SLC as the destination), I suspect because it's actually priced as a DFW-LAX roundtrip via SLC, with a 5 hour "connection" that wouldn't normally be allowed pre-COVID. Will I have any issue having my luggage checked to SLC and not LAX? I plan to take a printed copy of the receipt showing that I booked a flight to SLC, and I fully intend to fly the routing as booked (no hidden city shenanigans for me), but I'd really rather not show up at the airport with 3 bags to check in and find that they will only check them to LAX because of how the fare is constructed.

Edited to add: I looked at some other threads on short-checking bags domestically - it seems the policy allows that regardless of routing/destination for connections longer than either 4 or 6 hours, it's not totally clear what the current rule is. Hoping a combination of status + an understanding agent + general COVID-era flexibility make it a non-issue, but you never know...
