A friend has a flight NYC to TLV with a stopover in Paris on Air France. They are landing in Paris at 11:10 am and taking off at 11:15 pm, so a 12 hour and 5 minute stopover. Does anyone know if they are going to have to pick up their luggage or can it be checked through to their final destination? Air France rep wasnt sure and checked the rules that said that if its the same day then it could be checked through but if its over 12 hours then it cant. but this flight is same day but over 12 hours. Manager said that they will have to pick it up. And if thats so will they be able to check it back in?
