I'm flying LAS > OGG and found a flight with a long layover in PDX (where I maintain a residence). Flight gets into PDX at 7PM and out the next day to OGG at 10AM. So, I could sleep at home and grab some things I'd love to take from PDX > OGG but am not willing to drag with me through Las Vegas for a week.
Not sure if you're asking if they'll keep them checked throughout your layover or if you're able to check them in again at PDX, but their
baggage policy is this:
- Layovers longer than 12 hrs, you'll need to claim and re-check your bags. If it were shorter than 12 hrs, you'd have the option to not check them through all the way, I believe. You'd just notify the agent you'd like to claim them during your layover.
- You can check bags in no earlier than 4 hrs prior to your flight, up until 1 hr before departure. Because it's a longer layover, this may mean paying the baggage fee twice, unless you have a fee waiver from the AS Visa or elite status.
