I will be flying Air Canada from LaGuardia (LGA) to Yellowknife, Northwest Territories (YZF), with connections in Toronto (YYZ) and Edmonton (YEG). The first layover is 10 hours overnight in Toronto, and coincidentally where I live as well. I will be travelling with two checked bags from New York and would love to drop one bag at my house during the overnight layover in Toronto, since I don't need to take both bags with me up north.
My first question is if AC still holds baggage for overnight connections under 12 hours...and my second question, can I short check one bag to Toronto and have the other bag continue onwards to Yellowknife? I.e. do the same number of bags you check in at departure need to match the same number of bags you arrive at your destination with? Any advice is much appreciated, cheers!
