I have bookings on 2 separate PNRs:
Flight 1: AEP to SCL on AR, promo Y fare with no check in baggage
Flight 2: SCL to SYD on LA, J Qantas Classic Award ticket with 2 x 23kg check-in allowance.
4 hour transit in SCL between flights.
Will I be able to check my bags at AEP all the way to SYD while claiming the baggage allowance for the long haul leg citing the Most Significant Carrier rules? Or will I need to purchase baggage allowance?
Alternatively for Flight 1 I can also book LA instead from AEP to SCL but since both flights are on the same airline I assume MSC isn't applicable so it goes back to LATAM's own internal policy, and reading some user experiences here LATAM are strict with not checking in all the way through on 2 separate PNRs even if the trip is entirely with them.
Appreciate any insight or recent experiences anyone have had with this.
