Baggage check through on two separate ticket
I booked a flight from BOG to MEX last week. I have decided, after thorough planning, to depart from MDE instead earlier that day. Thinking to purchase another ticket from MDE-BOG. Would AV agent at MDE willing to check through my baggage all the way to BOG on another leg with AV as well?

However, because of BOG customs, you may be required to get your bags and get them inspected thru whoever customs agent, requiring to re-check them again at BOG.

Does everyone have to pick up checked baggage in BOG, get it through customs and drop it off at counter?. I think I've done international to domestic connections at BOG and really don't remember if I've had to (or not had to) do that. Yeah, if it's just a matter of putting an IBE tag on the bag at LHR then I guess it doesn't really save anything.
