Flying with Connection - Check Luggage

[Raymond Lin]

Going to Morocco in December, via Paris CDG (urghhhh), only have like 90mins to make the connection....eek

I will try to take carry on only but if I do check in a bag, which will just be cheap clothes in it...do they move the check bags to the other plane for me? It's bought as a single ticket.

I think the answer is yes....but I want to double check.

Thanks

Haven't you traveled loads before Raymond?!

Seems like quite a basic question for you.

But a) 90 mins is an age for connections. Something under an hour, then maybe you have something to worry about (depending on the route/airport)
b) yes they check the bag through to the final destination.

I have almost ALWAYS done direct, longest is to Singapore and that was direct...Taiwan was a connection but a 3hr one....i know the answer is yes....just double checking.

On the way back is 1hr though lol, but I am less concerned about that as it is on the way back.

I should really know this because my first time ever flying with connection to a small town in America I went to baggage claim in Chicago (I asked someone and they told me I need to collect my bags!). Of course I didn't need to and then need to go through security again.

You and baggage should be checked through all the way. Contrary to the above though the exception (there may be others but not that I know of) to this is when you travel to the US (international) and then connect to a domestic, in that scenario you absolutely have to pick up your baggage and check it back in again.

That's what I did! that's what they guy told me but i didn't have to. To and back.

I remember almost missing my connection because having to go through security again.
