Will be transfering through SYD on the way to BNE next week on the return from KUL (on MH123, not MH141 which proceeds to BNE).
My question is: does it matter if I purchase the SYD-BNE QF ticket over the net with regards to the transfer (seperate from the MH issued paper ticket), that is, can I effectively "check-in" at the transfer desk, as opposed to "re-check"?
From memory when transfering through SYD you collect your bags, pass through customs/AQIS, exit the baggage hall, and then re-check with QF near the transfer bus. I have previously only done this when part of OW itinery, where the bags where checked through (even though you still had to collect/re-check them) and a boarding pass had already been issued, although from memory QF issued a new one in SYD anyway.
