International Travel Check In
I am traveling to Grand Cayman in July. I plan to arrive at the airport 3 hours before my flight. I do have a question about my luggage. I will have a connecting flight in Houston. I am flying on one airline, and that is Continental. My question is once I check my bags in my departing city, do I have to claim my bags and check in again at my connecting flight? I am praying that I don't have to do this because I only have 1 hour and 10 min. before my international flight.
it really depends on whether the airline knows your intentions. i've flown on Continental many times on connecting flights. when you buy a ticket that includes 2 segments (a connection), it's assumed that you want the bag to go to the final destination, so they will automatically tag your luggage that way when you check-in. i've also purchased the segments separately (instead of one long trip) and gotten 2 boarding passes, and even then, the agent asked if i wanted my bag checked all the way to the final destination. so just make sure to let the agent know when you check-in. truth is, you can always change your mind afterwards (e.g., you suddenly want the bag checked through the connection while still at your departing city), it just involves a bit more work and some worker finding and then hand-tagging your bags.
