Stopover baggage question
I am sure that this is already answered, but on an international trip with a stopover, do I have to pick up my bag, or will it stay checked? I would prefer not to. For example ATL-CDG-GVA, will the bag stay checked at CDG during a 18 hr stopover?

It will not. Stops >12 hours call for retrieving bags per the C of C.
Connection Time Exceeding Four Hours
Passengers making connections to the first available Delta flight departing from an intermediate point may reclaim their baggage at the intermediate point if the connection exceeds six hours, but is less than twelve
hours. If the connection time exceeds twelve hours, the passenger must reclaim his baggage at the intermediate point.
