NRT-ICN-LAX-SMF Baggage Transfer
Hello, did a search, but didn't see the exact info I was looking for... so maybe you guys can help me out here.
I booked an award Business/First class ticket for my girlfriend on Asiana, routing NRT-ICN (Biz) ICN-LAX (First). But since there was no award seats from LAX-SMF, so I just simply bought a one way LAX-SMF operating on United.
I've always flew United into LAX, so baggage drop off is right after customs and also UA-International to UA-Domestic is all in Terminal 7/8.
However, I understand that Asiana will arrive in TBIT, will there be a drop off or re-check desk after customs at TBIT?
Also, I presume that my girlfriend can check her luggage all the way to SMF if she presents both the Asiana and United ticket to the agent in Narita?
And lastly, if I remember correctly in NRT, there is a first class check in on the other side of the *gold check in. Can she use the first class check in or will she need to use the business check in line at Asiana counter?
