reporting back... DUB-MAN//MAN-SIN

EI check-in
- had done OLCI
- arrive at airport, EI now have these wonderful self-service machines for printing of baggage tags
- have TA booking, but the machine tells me to cough up EUR35 for the bag...
- think I need to queue for 30min to get the bag checked, but some staff member tells me to go to the excess baggage desk (can't remember what it was called)
- the employee sees my SQ booking in their systems and my bag is on its way to SIN
- also get BP for SQ

--> Everything worked fine in the end, but admittedly the check-in experience was rather chaotic (not unlike the experience one could expect with many other airlines worldwide)

MAN transfer
- no airside connection available
- walk from T1 to T2 is fairly long, but 4h between the flights so not an issue
