I don't normally check in with the operator. The flight is operated by SN, but in the past I think I have always checked in with the airline who issued the flight number. E.g. if flight LH123 is operated by SN, I will normally tend to check-in with Lufthansa. Are you saying I can check in with SN in this case? I would much rather prefer to do that, because it will likely be harder to convince LH to follow SN rules.
