Before I call reservations, just wondering if anybody know whether SQ can interline bags over to CX and vice versa? Thanks.

I've done this a few times in the past and the answer would be yes. Just show both tickets upon check-in and you should be fine. But I would highly recommend that you call SQ beforehand just to make sure there isn't any changes to the policies. The last time I did so was 2004.

Does anyone know if this is still the case?
I'm going from UA-SQ-CX. Will I be able to check my bag at UA all the way to the last leg on CX?

I thought if they sold the itin together that there was an interline agreement, like how you can book an AA flight that connects to UA and they'll interline. Is that not the case for foreign carriers?

What most people don't know is that interline agreements have existed between most if not all major airlines long before marketing alliances such as Star Alliance / Oneworld existed!
Sometimes it seems to me that one of the purposes of these alliances is to make customers think that only airlines within an alliance can interline so that they would stick to a single alliance when travelling.
