Can you still check in over 23kg luggage up to 32kg as a OW Emerald free of charge? BA award business class CPH-HEL?

Based on my recent experiences, not necessarily. It would seem AY is only checking bags that are on one PNR, not even combining luggages from AY to another AY itinerary. So, changes of checking through to another airlines is slim, but maybe QR has better rules?

Is this new? I had BP printed proactively for separate bookings at HEL in the past, so why would they not check a bag through?

My experience from last week
https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/35658094-post2168.html

And in February, AY did not want to through check bags on MH itienary (I.e. AY to SIN and MH from SIN).

I checked AY's website and it seems that they don't want to interline luggage when there is 2 separate tickets when you check in with AY: https://www.finnair.com/en/frequentl...ation--1890114

In my case i would check in with QR and only the final leg is AY CPH-HEL. You would think that "strategic partnership" between QR and AY would allow simple luggage interlining like this. I cancelled my BA award and booked QR award instead and i will also book with QR my CPH-HEL leg. Maybe this will make things easier. Unfortunately can't combine the award tickets online so 2 separate tickets again..

Im guessing the second flight to SIN (AY7231) on sunday is for the QF wetlease, but its showing 359 on EF/AY.

Operations switch rapidly

Todays AY15 switched from A330 to A359 just 1hr 20minutes before scheduled departure time.

And the A359 has old cabin. Tough luck for those booked in PE.
