Lufthansa Interline with Qatar on separate itinerary
Just wanted to check for example for I'm flying from FRA-ZRH on Lufthansa and ZRH-DOH on Qatar on separate itineraries, will Lufthansa be able to tag the bag all the way to Doha? Or do I need to collect the bags in Zurich and re-check in?

I actually find LH Group surprisingly flexible on this. I regularly check through bags LH/LX through to EK on a separate ticket and there’s never been pushback.
That said, I’m always flying a premium cabin and have status, so ymmv. You can definitely try.

bag checkthrough with lufthansa then qatar
Hi All
would appreciate some advice if bag check would be possible otherwise i will go with cabin baggage only.
i am travelling from LHR on 20/03 with lufthansa on LH921, LAND IN FRANKFURT AT 09:05
my next flight is from FRA on 20/03 with qatar on QR070 is at 10:35
my final flight is from DOH on 20/03 with Qatar on QR556 is at 20:45
so my question is if i could use lufthansa checkin at LHR and ask them to check my bag through without having to pick it up in FRA to my final destination of BOM?
many thanks

how do you know? does it fail fra mct? I often get bookings *A onto QR in waw, vie, muc, fra and reverse all on one booking with my bag checked through. Granted my start point is not lhr, but i have no doubt a ta could book that on one ticket provided it meets fra mct

And MCT means something completely different for a single ticket with protection vs separate tickets with no protection.

this i know, i was asking how people knew it was separate tickets and if mct was the give away as you would not be able to sell a through ticket below mct.
