Does UA construe, typically or otherwise, the Montreal convention to apply with the following factors:
- int'l RT ticket
- outbound completed
- Return
- UA metal plane arrives from outside the US into a US city
- Pax collects bags
- Clears customs
- Re-checks all bags onto a connecting UA flight (all on the PNR)
- One or more bags are lost.
Or should the Montreal Convention NOT apply since the only remaining flight left was the purely domestic flight (for purposes of a lost bag)? It goes without saying, all of the international legs were completed.
