Aer Lingus Stopover with no time at destination

1/12/2017 3:14:44 PM

Do I need to retrieve my bags and check in at LHR for the return trip to BOS in the two hour window I have at LHR?!?

No. The baggage check system is totally independent of the fare construction on the ticket.

Instead, whether the baggage is checked-through or not is calculated from the arrangement of the flights on your PNR. In this case, you have a connection from SNN-LHR-DUB of two hours, between two carriers with an interline agreement; therefore your bags will be checked through from SNN to BOS via DUB and will not need to be collected and re-checked at LHR.

The Itinerary seemed strange, but the price was very good courtesy of Google Flights.

Google Flights is very good at finding low prices precisely because the underlying pricing algorithm from ITA Software divorces the fare construction from the way you have arranged your itinerary. Often it is now possible to find prices for journeys that were not even anticipated by the airline who published the fare.
