Multi-stop, multi-airline flight. Luggage questions?
christagious asked:
This summer I am flying (for the first time ever) to Argentina. I purchased my tickets from Priceline and I’m going from Ohio to North Carolina to New York and then off to Argentina. With the multi-stops I also have multiple airlines: US Airways, United, and Delta. Now here are my questions. In between flights, will my luggage automatically be transferred to my next flight(s) and just meet me in the final destinatio And with the charges and fees for checked luggage, how does that work out? I’m going to Argentina for 6 weeks, so I’m going to need quite a few clothes and other things, so I’ll probably need 2, maybe 3, suitcase/luggage. I am also bringing my camera, laptop, glasses, contact lens case and solution on my carry-on. But all my checked luggage, do I need to pay the fees for EACH bag for EACH airline since it is a multiple airline flight, or will it be a one-time payment each way (to Argentina, and then back home)? And when are you expected to pay the checked bag fees? The whole “checked baggage fee” thing confuses me.

Yes, this is a lot of questions but I’ve never flown before and I think I should probably know all of this before I leave.
EDIT: Judging by the answers I”m getting so far, I made a mistake by going the cheaper route and getting my tickets through priceline. Is it too late to get a refund and figure out a different flight?
And is it possible with all of the restrictions to carry a lot of clothes, plus my camera and laptop on my carry-on?
