Interlining is a voluntary commercial agreement between two or more airlines that lets a passenger travel on a single ticket across flights operated by different carriers, without rechecking baggage or re-entering the terminal at each connection. A designated plating carrier collects the full fare and distributes the proceeds to the operating airlines through a clearing house, and a missed connection caused by delay is typically rebooked onto the next available interline flight at no extra charge.

What happens to a ticket and checked baggage when two airlines are involved under an interline agreement?
One airline, the plating carrier, issues a single ticket and collects the fare, checked baggage transfers automatically between the carriers, and a missed connection that is the airline's fault is often rebooked free of charge.
Interlining is a voluntary commercial agreement between airlines that lets a passenger travel a multi-flight itinerary on a single ticket without rechecking baggage or leaving the terminal at each connection. One carrier acts as the plating carrier, issuing the ticket and collecting the full fare, then invoices the airline that actually operates each other flight for its share. Under a traditional interline agreement checked baggage transfers automatically between the carriers, and airlines commonly rebook a passenger free of charge if a missed connection is their own fault.
