Would bags be checked through?

Hi all,

I'm planning to fly YYZ -> BKK with connections using airline LH, LX and TG. I just wonder would the bags be checked through to BKK or I would have to get my bags for every connection (at Dusseldorf, and Zurich).

Thanks in advance!

Are you travelling on one PNR/ticket or separate ones?
Either way, certainly on the outbound legs, yes LH should be able to send your bags through to BKK.
On the return, if you have one PNR then TG will do the same. If you have two PNRs, they should also. But it doesn't always work.

It is one reward ticket. So I'm hoping the bags would be checked through then although it's through THREE different airlines: LX, LH and TG.

You have three of the world's leading airlines (also LH owns LX). If you were flying smaller carriers, and/or a mix of ones from a third world country then that would likely change the equation.
You'll be fine. Enjoy your trip!
