SQ BA Interline
Hi, I am flying with SQ from Bangkok to London via Singapore and with BA from London to Manchester. Both separate ticket. May I know if it is possible for me to check through my baggage to Manchester in Bangkok?

Surely you have to clear Immigration & Customs in London? In that case you couldn't interline even if it were available

Why wouldn't Customs be at MAN?
Immigration will be at LHR but that has nothing to do with the bag which SQ should check through. (Interestingly, in the other direction, BA won't check the bag across tickets to anybody, including itself).

So I assumed there is a possibility for check through? As the connection time between two flights are only 2 hours and 5 minutes.

If the bag is checked through to MAN via LHR, the bag will show up at MAN.

SQ has no influence on ground operations at LHR, and having a boarding pass means nothing. You need to pass immigration and go through a terminal change, with security. Good luck but understand BA is not obligated to put you on a later service if you don’t make the flight you’re booked on. Neither is SQ. It is just useful to understand your options on separate tickets.
