But i am hoping to avoid all of this by being able to check in for both flights (1st being on Copa). We shall see. Good to know both BP's will be issued at check in.
I have had this happen on a mixed UA Award with UA and TK. ORD-GRU on UA and GRU-EZE on TK where I had to pay for one bag over the allowance on TK but would have been allowed on UA. I paid and eventually got refunded by TK.
