USM-LHR Baggage Check Through
Hi all,
I'm just looking for some guidance with regards to flying home to LHR from USM after reading some conflicting advice. My understanding is only Bangkok Airways flys in and out of Koh Samui so there's clearly one choice from there.
I'm ideally looking to fly home via BKK, and would like to check my luggage right through to LHR so I can just make a connection. However, I've read a few things that suggest Bangkok Airways will not check luggage through, even on a codeshare.
Would anyone be able to help me confirm:
If I book what looks like a codeshare Thai Airways to LHR via BKK if I can check through my bags?
If the advice is any different for any other Star Alliance partners?
Anything else I just need to be cautious about here!
Many thanks for any help.

The list of airlines for which PG will check through on the same ticket can be found here: https://www.bangkokair.com/through-check-in
I would expect PG to refuse to check through on separate tickets.
