Will my baggage be checked through to the destination by Lufthansa?
I reserved flights from Hong Kong to Dublin and will change planes at Munich, and when I return from Dublin to Hong Kong I will change planes at Frankfurt. All legs are operated by Lufthansa. I am just wondering if Lufthansa will check my baggage through to the destination, because if they don't do so, I will have to apply for a airport transit visa.
Best Answer
Yes, since you are using the same company, if you have one reservation number for both legs, then you should be fine. Your luggage should be going through without the need to pick them up and check them in again during the transit.

Do checked bags go straight to your destination?
When you purchase a connecting flight, checked baggage is usually forwarded to your final destination, and will change planes when you do. The agent at check-in will usually ask if you want your luggage checked through to your last stop.Do checked bags automatically get transferred connecting flight?
Unless the connecting flight takes place in a country that requires all passengers to go through Immigration and Customs, checked baggage will automatically be transferred to the next flight.Do I have to collect my baggage between connecting flights International?

This is done by airport ramp agents who control the baggage movement and ensure that your bags get on the right plane. They are then loaded onto carts which then transport the luggage to the plane, where they are loaded onto the plane.Lost luggage: What happens to your baggage after check-in
