For those who are wondering how it's done in Amadeus Altea, here is a video someone at MH took of their training session.

In this video they show how to add "inbound" flights and "outbound" flights to the check-in record.

Yes, as long as you are holding a single PNR.
For flights on oneworld member airlines, Malaysia Airlines still allows passengers to check-through to a final destination with baggage even if the sectors are ticketed separately on separate bookings provided the travel begins with Malaysia Airlines. 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. Certain oneworld and code-share flights allow our passengers to check-through while some do not. Please confirm the status of your ticket at the check-in counter.

I've actually had it for ALL the OW journeys beyond malaysia where i had a separate ticket. Since this policy came into effect. The girls and boys at the MH F checkin are all very clued in nowadays.

TGfg, so the best way to ensure this is done is to talk to the F counter staff at KLIA?
From an academic standpoint, will they print boarding passes for immediate turnarounds out from & back to KLIA? I'm not planning on doing such ever again, but I got the runaround when I was forced to do this recently due to last minute issues forcing me to rebook my ticket for such... (Granted, I did not try the F check-in section.)
Just wondering, this was from KUL? Or SIN as well?

On Saturday i am connecting through KUL on separate tickets, from MEL to KUL via SIN on a Qantas ticket (MH from SIN), connecting through to MH to BKK and onto AMM (RJ ticket).
I have checked baggage which i know QF wont tag all the way through, and i have a tight ish connection in KUL of 1.5 hrs, will MH recheck me airside at the transit desk, or shall i ask QF to only tag my bag as far as SIN and i can recheck in there?
Thanks

If you have long connection at SIN, then it would be better for you to recheck at SIN. Else will had force QF to do it
Because now the check-in system will automatically cut-off at 1hour mark, those agent at counter won't have any admin write to overwrite it, so you definitely won't able to recheck your luggage and print BP for 1.5hr connection. Usually the aircraft took 10 minutes to reach to gate, 20 minutes to load the baggage in KLIA.

MH will not allow you to do your connection at the transit desk. Their systems (computers and human elements) are incapable to handle such requests.
Immigration these days have been horrendous at KLIA (in and out) due to the holiday season. Then getting your luggage is time consuming too. So you may not have enough time to connect.

I managed to have my bags through-checked on two seperate tickets (MH to QR DPS-LHR vis SIN) to my final destination yesterday after having to insist that the agent do it. At first she said I would have to retrieve my baggage and check-in again at SIN. I said I'd rather have my bags tagged all the way and have all boarding passes issued. She then proceeded with a story about how it was more safe to check in again at SIN, because the chances of someone stealing the bags would be smaller. I was like... really? After having to be quite firm, she finally agreed to check my bags all the way and to issue boarding passes for the whole journey. Not with a smile though and no 'thank you sir, have a nice flight'. Just a very loud NEEEXT.

My normal reaction in such circumstances would be to inspect each boarding pass, and pack them up nicely in my passport v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y.

In that case, her suggesting that you recheck the bags in at SIN may have been a smart option. IIRC, there's a limit of 3 sectors on a single MH baggage tag, so your having 4 would lead to 2 tags on a single bag and thus potential confusion down the road?
Doesn't excuse the unnecessary attitude though.

I thought I’d update with my successful experience today.
Flying SIN-KUL in biz on MH. Second separate ticket from KUL-LHR with British airways in F.
I asked the woman at the Malaysia desk at Changi if she could interline my bags, she looked at my BA reservation and promptly did this for me!
Saved me me a lot of time, worry and hassle.

I think I would just report on my interlining Mh to MH in 2 PNR back in September
Cgk-kul vv and kul-ktm vv
It was smooth. I am still happy I spent 10.5 million idr on J class in 2 pnrs rather than (at that time) if i book return under one pnr:: 18 million J class cgk-ktm via kul , or 10.2 mln IDR eco
Again thanks much for the helps

Hi guys,
Planning the following route:
(Single ticket - MH)
PEN-KUL-BKK
*4-hour Layover*
(Separate ticket - JAL issued with Alaska Miles)
BKK-KIX
Would the check-in counter at PEN be able to check baggage all the way through (and issue all boarding passes) to KIX considering they are One World?
Also the JAL PNR will be for 3 passengers, only 1 passenger starting journey from PEN so just give the ticket number would be sufficient for PEN check-in counter to tag all the way through?
Thank you
