I just booked
ORD - JFK on DL using DL miles. Basic Economy - Arrives in JFK at 9:55 AM
JFK - LHR on VS using VS miles. Classic Economy - Departs JFK same day at 7PM.
Is there a way to marry these 2 segments so that:
1) I can get free checked luggage on the ORD - JFK segment,
2) I can check luggage straight from ORD to LHR
3) If the answer to no. 2 is negative, will I be able to check my luggage to LHR upon arrival in JFK in the morning?
4) Would rebooking segment 1 as a regular economy ticket make any difference to any of the above?
