Reclaiming Checked Baggage

Upvote:1

You must pick up your checked baggage at the destination airport as shown on the receipt.

Whether you must pass through Customs at the pick-up airport, or later at a destination airport, depends on a) whether you have one ticket or more than one ticket, and b) the identity of the airline(s), and c) the identity of the airports.

As jacaron notes in comments, the US can be a special case. Whether it is (or not) in your situation depends on the factors listed above.

The baggage receipt is primarily a record locator. In most cases the receipt will list all flights and destination through which the bags will be transported. Obviously you have to claim the bags at the last city listed, which is typically the final stop of you itinerary.

There is typically no additional information about whether you have to claim and recheck somewhere along the way (which normally happens only in the US and Canada). The will tell you at check in and on the plane.
