Open-Jaw Checked Bag Question
Flown 100's of thousands of miles, and flown on plenty of open-jaw flights but never checked a bag on an open-jaw.
6 day "layover" between flights. Can I check for the first leg and receive it immediately? I ask because my wife is coming... hence the need to check a bag...
I searched and could not find an answer

Open-Jaw Checked Bag Question
of course. in fact, the airline will not hold your bag for you for 6 days even if you want them to. (Or even overnight usually). It will be treated like two one way tickets. Or like a roundtrip.
My guess is the "openjaw" at issue is AAA-BBB-CCC.
Did you actually think they'd keep your luggage at the airport for 6 days????
