Through baggage check in question (all SQ flights)
Hello chaps,
I am flying BOM-SIN-BKK-SIN-BOM in SQ economy. I have already flown the BOM-SIN sector and will fly the SIN-BKK sector this week.
I was wondering, can I check in my luggage from BKK directly to BOM (Mumbai) and then take a stopover in Singapore?
I am not concerned with the stopover fees, and my ticket allows a stopover, but I do not know how long I can have a stopover, without having to collect my luggage and re check it into Singapore.
I tried calling customer service this morning, but they connect me to a call center with long holds and less than knowledgeable staff....any alternatives to this?
Thank you chaps!
Andrew

No, bags may connect thru at SIN within 23 hours. Anything longer and your bag must be collected as your ticket shows you as stopping over. You may as above mentioned to collect your bag first and then recheck it in at SIN if you are departing within 48 hours.

I would imagine you can use the transit desk air side to send the bags to the next destination provided it's under 48 hours( for SQ). You do not have to retrieve the bags. The bags will auto-magically be identified and re-tagged.
This is possible because
1. the arriving and departing airlines have interline agreement - well it's the same airline
2. check-in for departing flight is open at the time (but, say if you are connecting to UA, then tough luck)
