I've got a Done5 booked, and to cut a long question short. I'll be flying back from JFK to LHR, and breaking my trip in the UK before heading out to Dubai later in the year before ending my trip in GIB.

I didn't want to take the JFK-MAN flight as the time's weren't good for me, but would I have any problems doing this?

Buy a seperate ticket from LHR to MAN

Could I get my luggage through checked from JFK to MAN?

If not am I going to have any issues with excess baggage if I collect it at T4 and check it back in at T1 (I'll have two checked in suitcases).

Thanks,

chris.
