Hi,
I hope you are looking forward to your fast-approaching trip.
I have checked with the airline and your luggage will be transfered straight on to your connecting flight. You will not be required to collect your luggage whilst in the airport, nor check it in for a second time.
In addition, you are free to leave the airport during your wait whilst your next flight is being prepared. However, with only a 5 hour wait you may find it more relaxing if you enjoy a quiet drink in one of the airport bars, or perhaps read a magazine in a waiting area in case you find yourself in a panic to rush back to the airport to catch your connecting flight.
If you have any further questions then please do not hesitate to email me.
kind regards
Cheryl, your editor
