Spinning off from another thread I'm wondering if anyone has experience with checking baggage via the train system to an airline and vice versa.

Secondly, has anyone any experience doing this when the train and air tickets are not connected (i.e. not a part of the same reservation).

I am going to be taking the SBB train to Zurich to fly out on Swiss, and when I return I'll be coming back via Paris with Air France and taking the TGV. In imagining the logistics of my suitcases, I'm just wondering if I should pursue checking the bags through the train system or try to handle it on my own.

Any tips?
