Next month I am travelling economy from PER-MEL on a single booking.
Upon arrival in MEL I am transferring to a MEL-LST flight on a separate booking which also contains another passenger who I am meeting at Melbourne airport.
Can I get the two bookings linked so that when I check-in at PER, I am able to get my bag tagged all the way to LST? I have checked the Virgin website and it seems to indicate that if the flights are on separate bookings I will have to claim my bag in MEL and then re-check it there to LST. Obviously with COVID-19 I would prefer to just stay inside the MEL security area and have my luggage go straight through.
Any help is appreciated.
