Combining flights
Hi, is it possible to combine different flights from different airlines but from the same alliance when checking in, at least as far as luggage is concerned?
E.g., I'm flying from Berlin to Rome via Zurich using Swiss, arriving at 11am (ticket bough through Swiss web site). At 12.10pm, same day, I'm flying with Aegean to Athens (ticket bought through the Aegean web site). Is it possible to send the luggage directly from Berlin to Athens and avoid the process of picking it up and and checking it in again at Rome?
Thanks!

Welcome to Flyertalk
It's called interlining baggage and it's possible. It depends on the airlines, but according to this page
http://en.aegeanair.com/all-about-us...ne-agreements/
Aegean has an interline agreement with Swiss
You will need to let them know when checking in and have the ticket for the second flight (or confirmation or whatever) and they will tag your bags through.

Also recommend you look at some other threads where FTers ask an OP many, many times: are both flights going in the same direction "on the same ticket"? In other words, are the two different airline flights booked on the same ticket number, or booking reference number? If so, your checked bags will interline from one flight to another.
