Seoul-Toronto-Montreal, skipping last leg, what happens to my luggage? - Pink and White I M a Little Print Textile

Earlier this year I booked return tickets from Montreal to Seoul. The return flight is from Incheon to Toronto via Korean Air and Toronto to Montreal via WestJet.

The problem is I've now moved to Toronto and don't need the last flight to Montreal. Expedia said no need to cancel this portion of tickets, I can simply not show up.

But then what happens to my luggage? Can I book it to Toronto instead of Montreal? I heard airlines don't like throwaway tickets. What should I do?



Best Answer

This is called short-checking. You can always ask but they do not always accept, particularly if your connection is short on time.

However in this case it does not matter. Even if they tag your luggage to YUL, you must take it through customs yourself when you enter Canada which is in Toronto for you. At that point you will just be able to exit the airport with your luggage as you would do if you had a stopover in Toronto.

Answer 2

I believe you will have to claim your luggage in Toronto anyway to go through customs so it should not be a problem.

To be double sure just glance at your luggage tag in Seoul and make sure that the tag says YYZ.
