NRT-BKK via Thai Airways on the same day. I may be able to check in for both flights with NH agent in Chicago right?
I’m kind of worried about my inbound. I’ll fly to NRT from BKK via Zipair. Will i be able to check in for my NH NRT-ORD airside?
ZG will refuse check in at BKK unless you can enter Japan or onward connection is ZG. Book a cheap ZG flight, say NRT-ICN. Then once you get to NRT cancel it so they don’t search for you as a no show. ZG also has agents on jetway while deplaning that are checking onward boarding passes to ensure its ZG. If it’s not, you need to make sure you’re carry on only AND have onward boarding pass. I can enter Japan so wasn’t stopped at check in at BKK but flagged on jetway. P2 cannot enter Japan so was flagged at check in.
