Interline Transfer JAL-ANA
I am flying GMP-HND-FRA, the first flight being on JL, the second NH, both in business, on separate tickets. I have 65 min at Haneda.... will JAL at Seoul Gimpo check my bags through to Frankfurt?

I can't say I have tried. Generally JAL is very supportive at making things work. Though this may be pushing it a bit.
Having an interline agreement does not mean an airline is willing to check through luggage across two separate tickets. Within the alliance JAL does it, outside the alliance,, not sure.

But the AA Plat status may help in this case.

Having an interline agreement is the first question. If JL does not, then it does not matter what kind of customer service it provides. If it does, then the inquiry continues. Easiest to simply call JL and be certain to expressly point out the 65 minutes and separate tickets.

Thank you very much everyone.
Called JAL and they said No.
But thats the reason I asked the question- I am not 100% sure the answer is correct. Depending on the check-in agent, they might go the extra mile. But since check-in at GMP is mostly handled by KE I guess I better travel with carry-on this time.

In many cases they can handle it, especially for status members. But you are probably right, an out station it is less certain to happen. This is one I have not tested. So I don't know for sure what they will do.

Please carry the ANA e-ticket print out with you, and also show you have completed online check-in.

If it is an itinerary under the current conditions, be aware that a land side transit is not possible, as that would mean entering Japan, and foreigners who have stayed in Vietnam within 14 days are not allowed to enter Japan.
