When I flew rev ORD-LHR-MAD-SVQ, I didn't touch my bags after I checked it in ORD until I landed in SVQ. Of course, passport control in Madrid wasn't really much, either... the guy hardly looked at my passport (or visa sticker inside, since I was there for more than 90 days) and stamped it without saying a word to me.

Yeah, and I also mentioned it in the original post. I suppose I could have clarified that I was directing that at Nick specifically with his comment about picking up the bag once arriving in the Schengen region.Originally Posted by mrs767er
flassher, you are right. PPBM (Positive Passenger Baggage Match) is a requirement on international flights, and is also often attempted (not an absolute requirement) on US domestic flights. However, I know that many airlines also have a stand-by tag that can be attached to the checked bag tag, maybe that can be used for standby pax like that?

The Standby Tag is put on a bag when the nonrev checks in, even if the nonrev gets a seat. The reason is that it can be located and removed should the nonrev be bumped.
I have never come across an airline that will put a Standby Tag on a bag for a connecting flight for a nonrev....there might be an inhouse system within an airline but connecting between different airlines would be a hassle and I doubt it is ever done. Cheers.
That surprises me as i worked for Continental for 18 years and never heard that state side PPBM is NOT a requirement...so if a passenger fails to board a domestic flight then the bag stays onboard???? .....interesting. Cheers.
