Heading back from Europe on LH flights and the outstation only tagged my bag to IAD instead of all the way to RDU because she couldn’t see the UA flight at the end despite same PNR (I suspect when I upgraded from O —> J it reticketed just the LH portion even though I can still see and check in to the UA portion).

Want to make sure I don’t end up in the wrong place — I know some airports (ATL comes to two different places for example) split arriving baggage into different halls for connecting and terminating and it’s been a long time since I’ve arrived back at IAD with checked baggage

I suspect I’m going to have to act like I’m an arriving passenger and then just go recheck with UA? Thankfully it’s a long layover but still a pain if that’s the case
