If Singapore won’t check them in all the way to IST when we check in at IAH, will they be able to get boarding passes for MAN-IST without exiting and going through passport control? In the U.S., some airlines give you a dummy boarding card that you present with your passport to a ticketing agent to get your boarding pass.
