So I will be flying on UA977 DOH-DXB in the late evening, then the next morning I have an early flight with LH (DXB-MUC).
My question is if anyone knows how I can find out if I can check my suitcase through to the LH flight.
The reason why I would like to find out beforehand is that I would prefer to stay in the DXB airport hotel and have made a reservation there, but if I cannot check the bag through, it doesn't make sense to book the night there, as I would have to get out of the transit area to pick up my suitcase and then I will not be able to check in the bag for the LH flight until 3 hours before departure.
So if this is not possible, I should cancel my airport hotel reservation.
Since UA, LH and the DXB airport are involved, I am not sure who could give me a definitive answer - maybe one of the knowledgable folks here in the UA forum has encountered a similar issue before?
Thanks!
