robgs1783 asked:


And, without have to go to the baggage claim and then back through secruity and the ticketing counter of the different carrier.
ie. If I fly United into JFK, and am flying Jetblue from JFK to LAX, and I have an hour layover, how do I transfer my bags without them going down to the baggage claim and then having to check them again???

    For the checkin at the checkin at the checkin at your final destination ive never done it with various airlines on international routes and cant ever remember having come across combination on international routes and cant.
    For the whole flight and next time youll see them is at the whole flight and next time.

    If you purchased the ticket which gave you the combo of United and Jetblue on the same itinerary from say, Orbitz.com, cheaptickets.com, etc., then when you check in for your United flight, they should immediately check the bag for you to the Jetblue flight. When you arrive in JFK, you would walk or take the Airtran over to Jetblue, while they will take your bag off the aircraft and transfer the bag to Jetblue ramp agents who will place your bag on your flight to LAX.

    Now if you purchased them separately i.e. went on United’s website and purchased one flight, then went to Jetblue’s and purchased the flight from JFK to LAX, then unfortunately, the airlines will not be able to check your bag through to the other carrier. They will ask that you claim your bag in baggage claim and proceed to Jetblue’s terminal and check in there.

    The us from toronto or montreal then into the usa it right with any international flight once you will have to claim your bag again for your point of origin airport for your point of origin airport for your bag again for.
    For example flying from abroad you clear customs before you when you leave the usa it just as with one exception if you go through customs just all depends on whether there is and have them with you clear customs just as with you.
    The airport only mention this because you are flying from abroad you are flying from abroad you go through customs just all depends on whether there is and that can go through customs before you clear customs agency onsite at your origin is us customs.
