For the return leg it’s great as we want to have a couple of days in KL so we’ll either taxi or fly there after the cruise.
Going out we’re going to get a flight from KL to HK. Our BA flight lands at 17.30 and there is a Malaysia Airlines flight at 19.50. Is that doable? I believe they are one world so is it possible to do a transit without going through immigration again? If so how does it work with suitcases etc? Also can the flights be booked through BA? Not done a flight like this before where I’m taking another one straight after so a bit clueless.
If it’s pushing it we’ll just get a hotel at KL airport and get a flight the next morning as the cruise isn’t for a couple of days. I’ll also monitor seat spy on the very very slim chance 3 club seats become available to HK at the beginning of December and we’d just fly direct.
Thanks for any help and tips.
BA doesn't allow luggage to be connected on separate bookings meaning you have to re-check in again I wouldn't recommend 2hrs 20mins from KL airport Their immigration is fine as they have a dedicated line for business and above but their baggage handling is unreliable
Generally, KL's wide-body aircraft arrive at Satellite and from there to the main terminal, you should count at least 20 minutes to get to the main terminal. I wouldn't recommend separate bookings, so as others have advised, if you can't connect your bookings, I'd recommend sleeping in.
