Baggage Checking Question

[rogerdm]

I have airline tickets that have me stay in Philadelphia overnight as the morning flight out is at 9:45am to San Juan. My question is can I or should I check the baggage right on through to San Juan from Binghamton? That way I would only have my carry on going to the hotel and then back to Philly in the am.

I don't think that's possible any more. I believe you have to travel with your bags for security reasons. If you are staying overnight somewhere else, your bags will come off.

Thank you.

believe ma bell is right but why dont you check with the airline you are flying on

on the other hand you dont claim your bags when you switch planes during the day ----------i think that your baggage claim numbers are matched when you board the next flight and that if you dont check in for the 2nd leg your bags are pulled ---------check with the carrier and let us know

I will do that!
