I am unable to check in online with ANA due to the Codeshare issue. I understand that the Transfer Desk (W 1) can provide an onward Borading Pass. However I have read that they do not open until 2:30 before flight time. Is this true? If so, how can I work around this. I am *Gold and want to go to the SQ and UA Lounges to rest, eat and shower. Not having a BP in advance is causing me to worry a bit (as my Lounge Time may be hindered ). Perhaps some FTers can help with their personal experience on what to do? These codeshares on UA are not handled that well by ANA Online Check in and IT. Thanks and Safe Travels
