No interlining possible between BA-AI :-(

Can I check my bag in for MAA-SIN (AI flight) at say 4:30 AM ? Full 7 hours before my flight ? That way
I can go to the hotel or air-side lounge if I decide to stay in the airport with just my carry-on ?

I found this link to on-airport dormitory / Retiring rooms but not many details. One important
detail for me is the location. If it is in Transit area then I will not be able to use it until my
onward baggage can be checked in :-(

If someone has any recent experience, that would be helpful...Thanks.

once you exit baggage claim, you will not be allowed to re-enter the airport till about 4 hours before your flight....

i've never used the retiring rooms but i would be tempted to say they are located in the transit area....
