Checked Bag on LX when booking through SK?
I'm looking at an itinerary ZRH-ARN-EDI. The fare basis seems to book into SAS Go, according to the ITA fare rules, however the ZRH-ARN leg is on LX codeshare. The reason why I'm trying to book with SK is to avoid baggage fees. Does anyone have any experience buying SK Go fares and how they map to LX? Will it be an LX Light fare (with no free bags) or Standard?
Thanks.
Thanks.

As far as I have know you cannot book Go Light on a code share so your LX flight would be Go.
But for sure if you are *G you will get an additional checked bag since SK and LX are two different carriers (also in LH's interpretation).

There is no ability to get an LX PNR code?

Mixed carrier itins are always 'classic' on LX/H/OS, so no worries there. SK 'light'/HBO fares are only available on flights operated by SK metal anyways, so no worries there too.

You can access the booking using the PNR received but often enough not select seats on a code share. Common problem within *A.

Normally ASR is fine with LH but not with LX. According to LX, it's something to do with the way they charge for seats. No idea why OLCI is impossible though.

OLCI used to work for me with LX even on code shares but havn't tried for a while. ASR is an issue with LH as well, e.g. I recently had a UA ticket with LH segments on a code share and there was no way to get ASR.
