Hello,
we are flying from IND to ATL then onto Punta Cana. In the process of the connection we only have a 50 min lay over. Will southwest maintain control of our bags and switch them to the connecting flight to Punta Cana?
I read when coming INTO the US from Punta Cana we will have to claim our bags and recheck them for the connecting flight in the US?
I am new to Southwest so any info on international flights will be helpful
Thanks!!!

Hi @jtgarwood,
Great question, thanks for posting on the Community.
On your outbound flight, you won't need to do anything - your bag will go all the way to your destination.
On your return trip, you will have to claim your luggage upon arrival in the U.S. and, after you clear Customs, you'll be required to re-ckeck all checked luggage with a Southwest Airlines Customer Service Agent before proceeding to your connecting flight.
