OP: Follow the signs for connecting travelers, and if you don’t already have a boarding pass, look for a “transfer desk,” which is like an airline counter but is airside. Even if you do have a boarding pass, it’s worth stopping by the transfer desk with your baggage tags to ensure that TK registers them in their system. If you can’t find a transfer desk, this can all be done at the gate as well.
Thanks very much to you and everyone above so much, you all have really helped ease my concerns and anxiety. I did purchase this as one complete roundtrip ticket through United, we are flying back from Athens but it’s all on United metal so I had no concerns on the return.
I am most grateful, thank you again.
