Does anyone know if TK will interline the bags back to LHR from an outstation like HCMC? If not, I feel the connection time would be too tight to clear immigration, collect baggage and then check back in and pass security.
Many thanks
I cannot answer the question about interlining, but i took the SGN-BKK flight several times (usually the cheapest option, the flight is never full and economy is fine for a 1 hour flight). Immigration was always pretty empty at that time. Usually out of the customs area in less than 30 min after landing (lots of walking, the use one of the gates furthest away from immigration).
Even if they don't interline your should be ok.
