Can they check the luggage in through?
So I am travelling in February to IAD and have a connecting flight on AA the same day after 3 hours to MSP. Can QR check my luggage in through to MSP from NBO or do I have to go to the baggage claim, pick the baggage and check it in at IAD. These are 2 separate tickets btw.

And despite having to pick the bags up, go through customs and re-deposit the bags, if the bags are not tagged through, you will be liable for AA's domestic baggage fees which are $25 for first bag and $35 for the second when you check in to MSP.

Not if you show that you just came through from an international flight.
