Luggage question
I have a paid and ticketed return trip coming up this summer from BRU - LHR - MIA - TLH.
Something has arisen that will now require me to fly to BHD on the day of my return to BRU.
Rather than book a ticket from BRU to BHD, is it acceptable when I check in at TLH for my return leg, to ask them if I can pick up my luggage at LHR instead and miss my connection to BRU, flying onto BHD after arriving at LHR?
Will airlines, in this case AA/BA, allow you to pick up your hold luggage at any transiting airport and not the ticketed destination?
Grateful for any advice.
