So, here's my very silly itinerary:
Of course I could just go HLO the whole way, which is my current plan, but I'm wondering if there's a way to check in bags airside at BKK before my EK flights, since I want to avoid going landside at BKK after the SQ flights to collect bags and check in to the EK flights. So, to be clear, in this imagined scenario, I would go HLO from PER to BKK then check in a bag for the BKK-DXB-BKK flights.
Checking in bags with SQ at PER and interlining to the EK flights is not an option, as I understand it, because apparently a bag cannot be checked to the same airport twice on the one routing (which does make sense) - leaving aside that the best I can find on the net is that SQ might agree to check my bags through to an EK flight.
So, yeah, in short, is there a way to check in bags for EK flights airside at BKK? I don't suppose it matters but in case it does, I have no lofty status but am flying J on SQ and J/F on EK.
- flying SQ PER-SIN-BKK,
- ~5hr transit
- then EK BKK-DXB,
- ~9hr transit
- then EK DXB-BKK (on same ticket as above 'middle' leg)
