Assuming with a connection that long, and different airports, that I'll need to pick up luggage after clearing customs & recheck in the morning? (That there's no automatic airport transfer for luggage and/or a 24-hour + layover would time out anyway?)
You're correct. Anything over 16.5 hours (I believe) now needs to be rechecked. And honestly, would you really trust any airline to successfully get your bag moved between airports like that?
