Checked luggage question

[Theresa Brandon]

We are flying from Santiago to Madrid tomorrow evening, spending the night at a hotel, and then flying to Chicago the next day. This is all on one ticket. Do we pick up our checked luggage at baggage claim in Madrid and then recheck it the next morning?

I think you can choose whether you want to collect your luggage and re-check it the next day.

If you want it checked through, ask when you check in and they can probably do it.

As Molly said; you’ll probably have the choice. What’s printed on your baggage tag by the agent (and on the little sticker which they’ll probably affix to your passport or boarding card) is definitive. Madrid is MAD O’Hare is ORD, I think.

Madrid is MAD O’Hare is ORD, I think.

Yes, this is correct.

Our packs were checked through to O'Hare and arrived safely. Our plane was struck by lightning on the way to Chicago, which apparently isn't a big deal, but was a bit alarming!
