Interlining baggage
I'm flying LHR-IST-BKK and then switching to a new PNR on Bangkok Airways (PG) to CNX. This is a domestic flight but the CNX airport can handle international immigration but will TK interline baggage with PG to CNX? Is the risk of losing a bag increased significantly by doing this?

Risk of loosing bags increase usually on how tight is the connection and efficient is the ground- baggage handler company.

we have a four hour connection time in BKK and since it is on a new PNR the departure tax is paid for. Looks like it might be best to go through immigration in bKK, pickup bags and re-check in. Sometimes BKK is quite slow with immigration whereas other times its quite fast but seeing as we have a large window I dont foresee problems. TK68 from IST to BKK seems to be delayed by 30-75 minutes usually but this still leave ample time!
