Can I leave the airport during a self-transfer? How does this impact my baggage?

You can leave the airport during a self-transfer trip depending on the available connection time between your flights. Keep in mind, though, you are responsible to collect and re-check your baggage and reach your connecting flight on time. Remember that if you miss your next flight, other legs of your journey may be canceled as well. If that happens, please contact us as soon as possible and we will help you get to your destination.
