checking through baggage on separate tickets - AY to BA?
We'll be flying MUC-HEL on the 15th with AY and on the 16th we'll be flying HEL to SEA via LHR and ORD with BA (last segment of course with AA). It's two separate tickets. Any chance we can check our bags through to SEA at MUC? Even with us overnighting at HEL?
In case we can't check it trough - does anybody know, when BA's bag drop at HEL opens in the morning? We're on BA795 departing at 7:55.

Should not be a problem. Helsinki airport can handle overnight luggage. Actually Finnair is asking people to check in on previous night during busy (school Holiday) seasons.
You need to pay a visit to check in counter or early at gate to show your luggage tag(s). Luggage information is not passed between AY and BA if separate tickets. See here: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/briti...botherers.html

Thank you all.
So - on the return it would be the same? Staying over night then too.
I know. *sigh* It's been quite a while I connected after immigration but I remember the drill.
