My question is: Can I check in my luggage at Newark all the way to Prague, or will I have to claim in Bristol & recheck it. Anybody know??

Thanks in advance.

The way I read this, you have two separate tickets. If that is the case, you can have any one of a number of problems.

1. you have two weight allowances. 2x32kg to BRS, and whatever KL's european allowance is for the rest of the way.

2. If your luggage gets lost on the way to BRS, the airline is not required to transfer it to KL.

3. CO does not have to book the luggage through, and may not.
