Connecting in TGU
 
Hi all,

I will be connecting in TGU this Friday from a UA flight to a domestic AV flight heading to RTB. My connection time is 105 minutes, however, since both tickets are on separate PNR's, I have the following questions:
1) Will UA tag my bags from IAH all the way through?
2) Will UA issue me a boarding pass?
3) I assume I clear customs in TGU but do I need to pick up my bad in TGU?

I can't seem to fly much online about TGU's airport and ExpertFlyer is indicating we are well within the minimum connection time.

Thanks

Maybe a good idea to have them make a note in both PNR that you are connecting to flight UA/AV.

It's a very tiny airport, so whatever you end up needing to do should be accomplished easily in the 105 minutes you have scheduled, assuming your inbound flight is on time.
