Possibly totally stupid question about flight connections.
As it appears to be impossible to book a through flight from Dublin to Palermo with less than two connections in the winter here's a question.
Let's say I book Aer Lingus to Rome or Milan. Then Alitalia from either to Palermo on a separate ticket. I collect my bag. Is there likely to be a transfer desk in FCO or LIN where I can check in for the second flight or would I have to depart secure area and then check in as normal for the second flight. It's never been an issue for me before as I've always been able to book through tickets but this is just a sticky one.
I don't actually mind if I have to check in and do security again. it beats a three flight trip via CDG and FCO but I'm just curious if you can do it as I have described above. FCO site not very helpful! Thanks
