Typically when you’re booked on separate tickets you can still check your bags all the way through to your final destination by presenting your e-ticket receipt at check-in. Exact policies differ by airline — some airlines will let you check through bags from virtually all carriers, while others (like Southwest) won’t let you check through bags from any other carriers.
Per a memo sent to travel agents, United will be tightening up their policies for checked bags on separate tickets. Beginning on March 1, 2015, it will no longer be possible to check bags through from an United flight to a separate ticket on another airline, with a few exceptions.
