I am flying from Tucson to Newark and then to Paris. At Newark I have a layover of about 8 hours where I am planning to see my family. I am planning to bring them some gifts (haven’t seen them for years) that will be in my cargo luggage,( already tried, will not fit in my carry on:( so my question is, will I be able to get out of the airport and get my luggage back to give the gifts and then recheck in for my later flight?

Will my checked luggage transfer from one airline to another?

If I book a ticket on a third-party site, such as Orbitz or Expedia, and the ticket involves multiple airlines, will my checked luggage that I drop off at the first airline transfer over to the other airlines without my doing anything else?

Also, this is an international trip, with an international layover. Does that matter?

Can I go to the luggage area to visit a friend during a layover?

I’m gonna be traveling from Oregon to LA for a layover of a couple hours. I wanted to meet up with an online buddy inside the airport for about an hour. I would have to leave the area where you wait for the plane so I’m wondering if I’ll be able to leave then come back in. I’ll have tickets on me so I wouldn’t see a problem. Has anyone ever tried?

I have a one-way flight on US Airways from LA to Allentown, PA with a layover in Philadelphia.

However, we only want to fly to Philly, get off the plane and not use the final leg of the flight to Allentown. Would we be able to get our luggage in Philadelphia upon arriving there or will it definitely be routed to Allentown?
thanks for all the answers so far. well, the reason i booked to allentown…it was WAY cheaper ($260 vs. $760).

I’m going to have a 4-day layover in San Francisco and don’t want to lug around my two huge bags. Does anyone know how much it would cost to store two large suitcases at the airport?

Does rechecking my luggage mean that I will have to go through security again?

The airline might loose it.

I’m flying into La Guardia tomorrow on American and then I have to transfer to Delta. I’m planning on carrying on my luggage, but since I’m group 4 to board I’m afraid there won’t be room in the overhead compartment. Is there anything specific I need to do to make sure my luggage makes it on the Delta flight if they force me to check it?
