My experience is that BA is the Problem.
We managed to check Bags through form Lufthansa to BA. But it was only possible that we had a Paper Ticket. If it would have been an electronic ticket they are not allowed because the First check-in cannot validate the ticket (Has no access to the Ticket-Database). The Check In Agent told that this regulation was quite new and made by BA!
Checking through form QF (MEL-FRA) to LH (FRA-MUC on LH as a seperate Booking) was possible by showing the Check-In a Booking-Confirmation of the electronic Ticket.
My experience is that Electronic tickets are easier when you stay in one Alliance but are hell if you interline between other Airlines.
