Is it worth retrieving at T1 and taking the luggage with us on Airtrain to T7 to check-in at SK counter to be sure they will arrive in CPH? Thank you to this brains trust!
All international non-precleared flights arriving in the US, with some very minor exceptions (JFK is not one), all pax must retrieve their checked baggage anyway at the first point of US entry.

Unless there is a SK recheck counter at T1, doubt it, you'd have to take checked luggage to T7 yourself.
