No because you bought a ticket to Columbia. You can call US and see what the fee is to chang it may be worth it to pay. Or you can ship your bag home UPS and not checkl any bag at all, and just eave when you get to CLT

Great Question -- just call or email your airline to see what they say, also you could get your flight changed or always use the trusty UPS and Fed Ex -- if you are 1st Class or are on a Freakwent Flyer program their is a chance your fees COULD be waived or they could let you get your baggage however dont count on it -- if nessisary threten to never fly with them again...!! LOL -- Hope this works for you!! :}.

It depends on if you're going back CAE-CLT-PHL or not. You might be allowed to pick up your bags in CLT, however if this is the outbound portion of a roundtrip ticket PHL-CLT-CAE-CLT-PHL, the instant you don't show up for the CLT-CAE, they will automatically cancel the rest of your trip, i.e. the CAE-CLT and the CLT-PHL flights. But if it's a one-way trip, if the agent is nice, he/she may allow you to check your bag only to CLT. Technically this is against many airline's rules, but the odds of them coming after your for the price difference is pretty low. I myself have done this once - we had tickets CDG-ZRH-BOM, BOM-ZRH-CDG. On the way back, we told the agent in Bombay that we wanted to just get off in Zurich and she had no problem with that.
