Do I need to recheck my baggage when transiting in AMS?
I have a flight with KLM from Istanbul to Warsaw. The flight is with KLM.
Does anybody know where am I going to get my luggage? Is it Netherlands or Warsaw?

Ask at check-in but if nothing strange happens you will only get your luggage in Warsaw.

If the label says Amsterdam, you'll have to recheck your bag in Amsterdam. Even if you've bought two separate tickets with different airlines domestically (For instance, New York \u2013 Nashville with Delta, and Nashville \u2013 Dallas with United), most of the time both airlines have interline agreements.Do I need to transfer my luggage on a connecting flight?

Answer 2
If you have a single booking with KLM, or any airline, you will have to pick up your baggage at the baggage claim of the final airport of that booking, which for your upcoming journey is Warsaw. This means that the airline will arrange for each airport along the way to transfer your baggage to the next flight of your booking.
Conversely, if your journey consists of two separate bookings, even if it's with a single airline, you'll have to claim your baggage in between, but again, at the final airport of each booking.
