Recent Experience Short-Checking Baggage?
 

Flying MIA-JFK-HND / HND-HKG-ADL in January on two PNRs. Want to check bags at JFK with JL for the JFK-HND leg and then have JL interline to CX for the HND-HKG-ADL legs.

Will AA allow me to get my bags in JFK? Have a 5 hour layover.

Saw this article from Gary, but it's a few years old: How to Get American Airlines to Short Check Your Luggage - View from the Wing

Thanks!
