| Jul 30, 2019 at 7:53 | comment | added | Juha Untinen | Just like @johnVonTrapp asked, it is critical to know whether both flights are on the same booking or not. But even then, it is of course possible that the luggage does not make it. However, it is a priority for airlines to make it, as they are required to compensate per day (something like 100 - 150 USD a day, I think?) for each day until your luggage arrives to your hotel. However, this appears to only apply for outbound flights. Return flights are not compensated, as you don't need to buy essentials. | |

The last time I had luggage not show up it wasn't a short connection, it was just that the plane was overweight and they flew people instead of luggage. | |

Checking them out absolutely will NOT help you! Leave them in the automatic system. Also, try to eat at all the good restaurants :) | |
| Jul 29, 2019 at 15:38 | comment | added | FreeMan | @KateGregory I had one very short connection (because the incoming flight was delayed). My baggage was delivered to my hotel early the next morning. A good reason to keep a few critical items in carry-on luggage. | |

I accidentally caused "short layover" to be duplicated in the sentence with my last edit.

Improved readability of the question.

| Jul 27, 2019 at 23:07 | comment | added | Doc | Baggage drop-off will close 1 hour before your flight departs from ATL, so re-checking your own bags isn't an option (and that's just one of the reasons it would be a bad idea) | |
