Baggage collection question
Hi,
I am travelling with BA and Qantas from Newcastle-Heathrow-Singapore-Perth, and was wondering at how many of the airports I will be required to collect my checked in luggage, and check in again?
I'm guessing only at Heathrow as I transfer from a BA flight (Terminal 5) to a Qantas flight (Terminal 3), but would be grateful if someone could confirm this for me.
Many thanks
Graham

You probably wouldn't see your bags until you land in Perth. It is only in the United States you have to clear customs and immigration even if your final destination is outside the United States. If you have it all on one ticket you shouldn't worry too much about that. Qantas and BA are both within the same alliance. What you should worry about is that your bags may not make it all the way if you have short connection times. Heathrow is also a well known airport for delayed bags anyway... Hehe.

With BA/Qantas I would expect it to be done automatically.
