Will ANA let me internline a bag to UA on a 8-hour connection?
Will ANA let me internline a bag to UA (CTS-NRT-LAX) with a connection time of 8 hours (non-overnight)? I land NRT at 9:25AM and have NRT-LAX at 5:30PM. Would love to go explore Narita without thaving to lug skis around or deal with left luggage.

Get ANA to interline bags at CTS. They should be able to do so
At NRT, UA check-in counter may not be open early enough (if you cant interline bags), and youll have to pay to store it (lockers/baggage storage), and then recheck it in with UA
(UA checkin counters should be open at 9am)

Let's push the envelope a bit further: I have a connection BKK-NRT-IAH-MID TG-NH-UA with a ~11 hour layover in IAH. If TG doesn't will only check the bags through to IAH, if I have TG check the bags only to NRT and then check in directly with NH in NRT, would they check them through to MID? If it matters I'm in F on NH and J on UA.

No need to collect checked luggage while transiting through IAH. [OneStop]
not sure about @1984SW 's special case, whether one-stop applies

Reason for separate tickets: I'm using award tickets BKK-NRT-IAH. UA rarely, if ever, opens award space IAH-MID, especially in J.

WMZ,
There won't be any issue with the NRT connection, I've done it before from FUK with a similar layover so CTS shouldn't be an issue since both are same day domestic connections to NRT for ANA.

There won't be a problem with the BKK-NRT-IAH legs. Might be an issue at IAH just because of the length of your layover and separate tickets. Worst case is you'll just have to recheck the bags with UA outside of Customs

You're sure UA will check in bags at ~800am for a flight departing at 605pm? (Just realized it's only ~10 hour layover, not ~11 hours.) I have plans to leave the airport to get a visa and don't want to be lugging suitcases around with me.
