SGD440, maybe

MeltingAlf

SGD 44 do exist More so for MI than SQ (but MH 5844 / SQ118 seems to be regularly going for 44 on the dates I've selected)

It sounds as though you're flying on MH from KUL-CDG in J....

Separate ticket check-in requirements for oneworld multi-sector journey

Effective 1 June 2016, oneworld alliance members are not obligated to offer through check in services for passengers and their baggage to their final destination when they travel on separate tickets on separate bookings. This means that if you have chosen to purchase two or more separate tickets on separate bookings for travel with one or more oneworld carriers, you may have to check yourself and your baggage in again at the end of each sector.

Malaysia Airlines will however, continue to through check-in passengers and baggage to their final destination for travel on one or more oneworld carriers where travel begins with Malaysia Airlines, even if the sectors are ticketed separately on separate bookings. Please note that this may not be possible on your return journey if travel begins with another oneworld member airline that chooses to adhere to the new oneworld obligation.

Any experience with HKT-KUL-IST? (the latter flight on TK).

I have plenty of time upon arrival from Phuket (around 3 hours until TK departure) but I would prefer to stay airside.

Guy Betsy

Which part of this did you not understand :

TK is not oneworld. Unless the above is on one ticket, it ain't going to happen.

Guy Betsy

As per the other post :

Your carriage with MH is only to KUL, and with a baggage allowance of 30kg. It has nothing to do with *A.

AFAIK with Oneworld tickets, even if it is operated with SQ, your luggage allowance is according to the flight number... eg MH.

Great to see that oneworld's boneheaded policy is being rolled back, airline by airline. ^
I wonder what MH, CX and AA will make of my upcoming SIN-KUL-HKG/-LAX-PHX-DCA/-MIA itinerary, on 3 different tickets? Any chance to get MH in Singapore to write a manual tag for THAT monster?
Serious question, actually. / indicate the different tickets, so the first one is on MH and the last two on AA. My biggest interest is actually having the bag transferred at DCA: in HK I have the whole day and fast track immigration so don't really care about having to collect it, but avoiding being violated by US TSA at any possible juncture is...appealing.

They'll probably just take to LAX since you have to clear customs there (I know it's more convenient to just drop it off at LAX arrivals instead of re-checking it). But with AA (and if MH doesn't tag all the way to MIA and I doubt they will), you'll have to collect and re-check at DCA.

I mistakenly asked the same question in another thread. So i made a mistake in my original question:


SIN - KUL on MH

KUL - ZRH on TG

amdgnyc

I'm the guy a few posts above that just did a AA-CX-MH itinerary on 2 tickets (successfully, I might add!) Important thing to remember is that AA officially does not interline with anyone, period. I had to re-check my bag with CX on my flight - AA DCA person would not check all the way through.

When you say the 2nd ticket is on AA, assuming you mean booked by AA but on CX steel? You will have to pick up your bag anyway in LAX to clear customs...BUT if HKG-LAX is on AA steel, you will probably have to pick up your bag in HKG as well. If CX steel, you should be ok, and I would re-check the bag with AA there for the rest of the trip.

MKE-MR

Hi amdgnyc,

I get what you're saying, but that sounds more restrictive than what I understand. AA will not accept a bag to check in across multiple tickets if they are the starting airline, for sure, but are you saying that they will ALSO not accept an interline bag which has been successfully checked by a partner? That sounds really surprising.

My tickets, and operating carriers, are MH, AA and AA. I'm on the HKG-LAX AA flight. But if MH has explicitly said that they will interline the bag to AA (as far as LAX anyway), then I struggle to see how AA could refuse that bag in HKG. That would create massive customer uncertainty and disruption. Just want to explicitly clarify if this is what happened to you.

I'm fully prepared for any of the following:

- MH refusing to check the bag farther than HK (against their published policy)
- MH checking the bag only to LA (technically short-checking, but because of the US customs issue, somewhat understandable)
- MH checking the bag the whole way through (surprising) and:
a. AA accepting it in LA without really paying attention (not surprising)
b. AA flagging it in LA for being checked across multiple tickets and re-tagging it only to DCA

or, even less likely:
c. AA paging me in HKG or otherwise contacting me to tell me that they are going to re-tag, or I have to go claim the bag (which is what it sounds like you were suggesting would happen, even if I got MH to tag it through)

I will certainly report back on what I actually experience. I carry travel insurance which pays cash for bag delay so don't much care whether my bag makes it with me as long as I see it again somewhere, someday

Guy Betsy

Personally, even if everything is issued on ONE ticket, and that all connections came out as several baggage tags, I wouldn't do it because it has more margin for errors.

I would allow the bag to be tagged as far as HKG, then go and collect the bag, and recheck at HKG with CX. Their systems would allow through check with two tickets and less possibility of bags going somewhere else..

Guy Betsy

Still don't understand your question.

LX does NOT fly from/to KUL.

Do you mean Singapore?

MKE-MR

Yep. But as stated previously, the recheck at HKG would be with AA, not with CX. My only CX flight is KUL-HKG as a codeshare. And a recheck with AA will definitely not get the bag checked through. That's very clear. We're more interested in what MH will do here.
I'm doing this for research purposes, to benefit the greater community and as I just said above, I'm fully prepared for the bag to be mishandled. But frankly, I'll know by LAX whether it worked or not, since I have to see my bag there regardless. So I don't see a whole lot of increased risk in giving through checking a shot.
