Unable to Enter a Country [duplicate]

If I have a connecting flight through a country I am unable to enter. Can I retrieve my bags to recheck for my connect?

In general, the answer to this question is no. In some cases, you may even be prohibited from transit without bags and without needing to clear immigration controls.

There may be exceptions to the general answer, but investigating all the possibilities would be prohibitively time consuming. If you have a particular airport in mind, with a particular point of origin and destination, and a particular nationality of the traveler, please add them to the question.
