ZED Luggage Question
 

WN guy here. My folks are looking at traveling on a ZED fare on United from IAH to FCO in May. They are retired and don’t care about about sitting around a few days to get on if need be to have more money to spend in Rome.

The Question: if they make the first leg and don’t make the second leg to Rome — would their luggage go on to Rome or would they have to retrieve it from Baggage Claim and do it all again the next day?

Luggage only goes with pax on international flights. It will get taken off if they aren't on board.
