Mini Dialogue

— Ho perso la coincidenza. Il bagaglio è trasferito? — Se il ritardo era colpa nostra, il bagaglio viene spostato automaticamente. — E se arrivo domani invece di oggi? — Lo teniamo noi in deposito fino alla sua riconnessione.

Cultural Note

When a missed connection is caused by airline delay or cancellation, the carrier is responsible for both rebooking and luggage. When the passenger misses the connection due to their own fault, they must rebook independently and file a separate luggage request.
