check through baggage?
 
Hey I will have a long stop (just a little over 24h) in HEL on my way back from BKK, I arrive at 17:10 in HEL and leave on the next day at 17:35 - so would they check my luggage through and I don t have to care about it in HEL - isn t there something like a 24hours rule?

It should be impossible to through check if connection is over 24 hours.

The answer from Finnair is "Maybe it works, maybe not - the people at the check in will tell you"

I wonder if the best approach here would be to play dumb at check-in and hope they won't notice that your connection is 25 minutes over the limit.

A quite dangerous game for me, since we travel with 6 - 8 bags each is about 25KGs - 30KGs - I guess I will send them with air freight.

HEL gives you an option to check in your bags the evening before your flight (between 18.00-21.30), so you could collect them upon arrival and proceed to check in immediately after that.

Thank you, thats a perfect option.

Slightly OT and not fully AY, but shows that things CAN be done, if there is will.
Ticket 1 : KUL-SIN on MH
Ticket 2: SIN-HKG on CX + HKG-HEL in AY.

I asked in KUL if they (MH) can check my luggage to HEL - after a bit of typing she not only checked the bag thru, but produced boarding passes for all three flights, saving me to go airside in SIN to check in for CX (CX didn’/couldn’t issue mobile b/p)
