Overnight layover and checked baggage (to merge)
Hi. I will be traveling soon and have an overnight layover in Miami (it is a 12hr10 min layover). Will I need to claim my checked bags and then recheck them? Its not a big deal to claim them and then recheck them but its a hassle so I'd prefer to check through to my final destination. Does the overnight layover mean I have to grab the bags or can I leave them with AA just like a regular day connection. TIA.

See the Wikipost at the top of the thread https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/amer...solidated.html. We will merge this into that thread soon.

Id love to see a graph of "bag loss/delay' plotted against 'connection time'
From 0 minutes to 60, it is probably a steep curve from 99% down to 1-2%...but wonder if past 6 hrs it starts rising back up....
