Downer flying to Caribbean but the island in particular is a UK territory, that helps thank you.
If you ask the customs or the ticket purchasing employees they will tell you at which destinations to pickup and drop off your luggage. If your flights are not specifically connected (ex: flight1 must transfer into flight2 at XXX airport) they will not transfer your bags. Last time I flew even though I had 20 minutes between when I landed and my next flight I had to wait for the bag boys to dump my shit onto the carasell and go through international customs which caused me to miss my next flight. Luckily Westjet was kind enough to book me a new flight and a hotel for that night.
So unless it specifically says you are to join a new flight on your ticket assume you have to pick up your baggage.
