Checking luggage for multi-segment on two separate tickets?
Hi!
I'am planning a trip to singapore in oct/nov this year. Cos I have heard alot of good things about SIA from alot of ppl ;-)
So i thought i would try it out this time, but to keep the cost down i thinking about buying the trip from Göteborg/Jönköping, Sweden to Singapore on two separate tickets from two different agents/airlines.
One tickets for the segment Göteborg/Jönköping - Paris/London via copenhagen with SAS. And one ticket for the segment Paris/London<->Singapore with SIA.
The stopover time in Paris or London will be 1-2hours.
My questions is simple, will SAS be able checkin my luggage at Jönköping/Gothenburg the whole way to Singapore even if i have one tickets for Jönköping/Gothenburg->Copenhagen->Paris/London and other tickets for Paris->Singapore?
Or must i take out my luggage at Paris and then checkin it again with SIA?
Both SIA and SAS are members of Star Alliance and it is only 3 flights so technical they should be able to checking in the luggage the whole way to Singapore and back to Göteborg/Jönköping but will they refuse todo so cos i bought my trip on two separate tickets?
People who have experience on flying on two different tickets, which is you are min recommended stop over time? During peak-seasons and non-peak-seasons?
Kind regards
