Asiana + SAS check in, in Seoul
I posted this in Asiana but not many replies, so I try SAS.
I have 2 segments
1) ICN to NRT
2) NRT to CPH
on 2 different booking numbers.
Am I able to check in in ICN through to CPH without go through Narita immigration ?

Normally the transfer security at NRT will allow you through if you just have a printed e ticket. Asiana should be able to check your luggage through. It usually works on Star Alliance I don't know if SK has a transfer desk airside to check you in, but I would guess one of the ANA desks can help you. So as long as Asiana can check your luggage through, I would say you can take care of the rest airside. But I have not tried before...

From my personal experience you probably won't be able to check in all the way to CPH from ICN with OZ, as you have 2 different PNRs. As CPH-flyer states, you might (only if you're lucky and find a competent ground agent, according to my experience) be able to already check your luggage through to CPH. If you manage to do so, I'd absolutely try to find a transfer desk at NRT and see if they can issue your boarding pass: that's what transfer desks are for, right? 
Alternatively, you may be able to print your SK boarding pass in Korea already with the on line check in? Then you don't need a transfer desk at all...

I have done this route many times (also through PEK) and I never had any problems as long as it is on one ticket. If you have two different tickets, then you need to claim your bags at Narita and recheck.

On the positive note, immigration and reclaim is very quick in Narita, and I think there is a special line for quick transits. Or there used to be. I use different lines now, so I have not looked for a while.
