MCT at MLE checked-through baggage
Hello AFF,
I'm hoping that you might be able to provide me with a bit of advice. I'm looking at a flight itinerary of MEL-auh-MLE (EY F/J using AA) with the latter flight arriving at 14:55 and MLE-CMB (EK F using $) departing at 16:20.
It's a short 1:25hrs connection which I'm guessing is below the MCT and being two separate PNRs provides no protection. So, I guess my question really is, is this too short or is it workable?
Also, would it be possible to get baggage checked-through MEL-CMB? Obviously MEL-MLE isn't a problem but, with such a short connection at MLE, if it was doable, baggage check-through would be a huge advantage and possibly the only way to make it work. But will that work across two carriers?
I have to scrap the plan and look at other more expensive options if I don't take this option, but I don't want to risk a missed connection and an even bigger problem.
Thoughts please?
Thanks,
