EK to BA baggage
Can I please seek the benefit of the combined wisdom of FT to seek some advice? I'm flying EK Business Class BKK to HKG connecting to BA First HKG to LHR. The flights are on separate tickets. Will EK check baggage straight through to LHR or will I have to go through immigration at HKG, collect bags and check in for BA before returning through security?

I doubt whether BA would interline onto EK anyway. Maybe if it was the same PNR, but definitely not otherwise.

If on single ticketed itinerary, then yes , they will check through
If on separate itineraries, they will only check through if the connection is to a OW airline
therefore, on 2 tickets BA will not check through to EK
