What to Expect Flying to DFW on QF7

[levelnine]

Must have changed since I flew or is it a DFW thing? Certainly AUS-LAX luggage was checked through, in fact AUS-LAX-SYD-WLG, all the way.

AA officially stopped doing it in 2016, but I found informally that they kept doing it for many years after that date if you got the right check-in agent. These days its 100% no in practice.

Edit: As PF said, I'm talking about separate tickets, which are becoming increasingly common as AA restricts more and more award space to partners.

Not 100%. I didn’t even ask for it in AUS a few months ago and it was offered by the agent (yes, separate ticket AUS-DFW on AA).

I revise it to 99.9% then

I think the key info in the quoted post was that these were separate tickets.

AA will through check luggage on the same PNR to other OW carriers.

Ah! Of course, but isn't that always the case?

No.
