A separate-ticket itinerary contains two or more bookings that may not protect each other during disruption.

What to know

Each ticket can have its own booking reference, baggage allowance, check-in process, change policy, and cancellation terms.

What to do

  1. Identify how many tickets and providers are involved.
  2. Check whether baggage must be collected.
  3. Review missed-connection protection in writing.
  4. Keep every confirmation and booking reference.
