Separate flights on same itinerary

I have the following flights booked on the same itinerary, but as two separate flights (one nonstop, one 1-stop), not as one flight with two connections:

ORD->BOS on United
BOS->TLV, via MUC, both legs operated by Lufthansa

I purchased them together as one itinerary on united.com.

My questions are:

Can I have my baggage checked from ORD straight to TLV?
Can I check in for all 3 legs and get boarding passes in ORD?
If my ORD->BOS flight is delayed so I miss the flight out of BOS, will United (or Lufthansa) be obligated to get me from BOS to TLV? Or will I be considered a no-show and have to buy a new ticket?

Best Answer

just to be more affirmative about your last question:

If my ORD->BOS flight is delayed so I miss the flight out of BOS, will United (or Lufthansa) be obligated to get me from BOS to TLV?

Absolutely yes! United is fully responsible for all your flights as you purchased it from them and they provided you the best way to get from point A to point B. Note that it's all on the same ticket number.

Can you check-in separately on the same itinerary?

If you are all travelling on the same reservation number, then you must check-in at the same time; otherwise the missing people are at risk of being classified as "no-show" which may have financial penalties depending on the type of ticket.

Can I book two different flights at the same time?

But the answer to the question is no \u2014 it is absolutely not against the law to book two tickets for the same day on the same route.

Can you separate airline tickets?

American policy states that passengers with separate tickets on American or other oneworld carriers should be treated as though they have through tickets. That means that in case of irregular operations, passengers are rerouted to their final destinations.

What does it mean when the airline says separate tickets?

A new update introduces the option to search for separate tickets, meaning that Google will search individual segments \u2014 even if that means booking from different services.
