Auto transfer of luggage between 2 airlines till final destination [duplicate] - Crowd of people walking towards airplane

I have bought a tickets from Harare to Dubai of Rwand Air from their office. Then I bought a ticket from Dubai to London of Emirates Air. Both the tickets were separately from their respective offices.
What should I do to ensure that my luggage reaches directly to destination, instead of me having to collect at Dubai Airport and check-in again.

Best Answer

After a bit of internet searching it appears that Rwandair and Emirates do not interline baggage with each other. Even if they did, they may not do so on tickets purchased separately like yours. In that case there is no way to avoid collecting your bags at Dubai and rechecking them, aside from traveling with only cabin baggage that fits in the overhead bin and a personal item that fits under the seat.

Is luggage automatically transferred on connecting flights?

The agent at check-in will usually ask if you want your luggage checked through to your last stop. You'll also receive boarding passes for both flights when you first check-in, so all you will need to do is find your gate at your connecting airport and your bags will automatically follow.

Do I need to pick up my baggage between connecting flights?

If your bag is tagged to your next or final destination, you may need to pick up your bags and place them on the connection drop-off belt. If it is not tagged to your next or final destination, then you will definitely need to pick up your bags and check them in for your next flight.

Do you have to pay for baggage twice on connecting flights?

Baggage basics So one way = one charge. Round trip = two charges. If your flight has a connection, bags will generally transfer from flight to flight and no additional fees will apply.

Answer 2

Two separated itineraries mean that you will have to re-check your luggage. That means entering Dubai through passport control, pick up the luggage, go to check-in counter of Emirates and drop it off there while receiving your boarding pass to London. You will need to verify that you have the necessary documents to enter Dubai.

If you do not have the proper documentation to enter Dubai or your layover is extremely short that will not allow you to re-check your bags (entering the country, rechecking the bag, and re-entering security takes quite some time), change your tickets now. Don't get stuck in the situation when you arrive at the airport. Rwandair will probably not allow you to board the plane if you don't have the necessary documents to enter Dubai.

If you are able to re-check the bags but are just asking because "it's too much work", I would suggest just put up with it and re-check the bags. I do it all the time and it's not a lot of trouble.
