United Airlines Baggage Help?

Do you have to re-check your baggage when you switch airplanes/airlines?

  • Sorry, it's my first time flying and I bet most of you have seen some of my questions. But this is what's going on. I leave Friday. I will be flying from Kansas to Oregon with a layover in Colorado. Staying with United airlines Next Friday I am flying from Oregon to Kansas with a layover in Colorado. But I am switching from Frontier to United airlines. So do I have to re-check my baggage when I switch planes/airlines? Thank's for the help

  • Answer:

    your bags are generally checked through to your destination. if not, the airline will tell you when you check in. the usual time this would happen is if you arrive in another country then have a connecting domestic flight - you have to collect your bags, clear them through customs, then put them on your next flight.

If your reservation is booked through to your destination, your baggage should be transferred between flights as well. 99% of the time, your bags will be sorted at the intermediate stop and go with you when you change airplanes, but once in a while, things get lost or put on the wrong airplane. Most likely, if your bags do get lost, they'll catch up with you in a few hours, but the airline must reimburse you for lost baggage if it doesn't turn up within a day or so. That's why it's always a good idea to keep anything you'll need right away at your destination or things you can't afford to loose with you in carry-on baggage.

No, the airlines usually take care of that. I was once on a flight that was cancelled due to snow and then I had to recheck my bags. But usually, you just have to get yourself, and your carry-on luggage to the connecting flight. Good luck.

yes, if you're an foreigner arriving to the US customs area of responsibility. otherwise, the airline operator is responsible for getting the bagge to the same destination as you.
