What is interline baggage?

What is interline baggage?

• A. Baggage that must be picked up at the final destination only.
• B. Baggage that is checked through to a final destination using more than one airline.
• C. Baggage that is restricted to carry-on size limits.
• D. Baggage that is tracked by a single airline only.

Answer: (B)

Interline baggage means your luggage is checked through from origin to your final destination even when your trip uses more than one airline. The bag gets a through-tag to the final destination, and the airlines involved coordinate to transfer the bag between carriers. You typically don’t need to claim and recheck the bag at each connecting airline, though you still fly your separate legs on the different carriers. This is different from baggage that stays with a single airline or from carry-on limits, and it isn’t simply about where the bag is tracked or picked up.
