Our flights are as follows
SXM-MIA Sun 1608-1929 on AA
MIA - SCL Sun 2250-0812(mon) on AA
SCL - AKL Tues 0110-0505 on Latam
So we have a 17hr layover at Santiago (SCL) from 0812-0110
My question is are we going to be able to check our bags all the way through from SXM - AKL, or will we be forced to collect them at SCL, as we arrive at 0812 Tues and depart 0110 Wed?
If we do have to collect them in SCL, will we be able to re-check them at 0812 for the 1am flight, or will we be forced to hang on to them all day ? Which would result in leaving the airport for the day, and therefore having to pay the reciprocity fee ?
Are there any airport hotels that are before immigration which would save paying the reciprocity fee ?
Any help is appreciated !
