The airline will transfer your checked bags. The express jets are usually
small Bombardiers and, depending on the size of your hand luggage, you may
end up having to check that as well. They won't charge you for that.

When bags are gate checked, is there any chance of them being sent
somewhere else? I've never done but do carry medicine that is very
important.



I would never check all my meds. If it's a short trip I take all my meds in
a carry-on. If it is a long trip I will put some in checked baggage just so
I don't have to carry it all, but I carry at least 1 weeks supply on board.
If they lose it, it may be several days before they find it. Or you could
end up with a hassle to get the scripts refilled.


The question was about what would happen if the carryon were removed
from me and I had no choice.


You can also mention it's medication that you may require in-flight and
request to keep it with you. These planes have tiny over-head bins, but
oddly seem to have more under-seat room than average, my main backpack
just barely counts as luggage, won't fit in the overhead at all, but
does fit under the seat in front of me.

It'll be uncomfortable, but since these are normally short flights, it
might be less uncomfortable than stressing about your medication.
