Considering booking Bkk-NRT-ATL but it will only be 1 hour inbetween flights....

Will we need to:

pick up luggage in NRT

check-in again in NRT

or will these things be done for us already?

Why not fly Northwest/Delta to ATL? Aren't they the same airline now? I don't think you have to pick up your luggage and recheck-in that way (probably cheaper too than flying two different airlines on one leg).

Yes, I want to fly Northwest BKK-NRT, NRT-ATL

but its only 1 hour inbetween flights from arriving in NRT to departing.

this is from booking right on the northwest website, as though they are telling you its going to work, but American airlines are notoriously terrible.

Luggage is checked threw. I've made connecting flights with only 55 minutes.

Well, make sure they are in the same term.... And, I've abouit 1.5 mill mile of flying and beside BKK NRT is my second most used airport.... I wouldn't do it too tight! Late flight etc. Beside I prefer tome enough for a shower and relaxing in the lounge!

If BKK - NRT leg of flight arrives on time and there's enough time for you to catch the connecting flight to ATL so will be for your luggage. At NRT they put the carriers of the same alliance in the same terminal (and same wing) so it shouldn't take much time for both you and your checked-in luggage to be carried on to your connecting flight.
