OLCI - connecting flight - interlined bags

Happy New Year to all V-Flyers.

I have managed to think ahead for once and booked BFS-LHR-BOS on a single PNR and am looking forward to walking around with both hands in my pockets from the bag drop at BFS to reclaim in BOS.

However, of course I will want to ensure I have the carefully chosen UC seats I selected and also have a crack at SEQ1. I assume if I OLCI at T-24 I will not lose the opportunity to have my bags interlined but don't know how this works with a connecting flight. I am sure someone out there does ;) .

Should be fine, just ensure they tag them priority when you drop them in, and go to UC check in to let them note your bag numbers at LHR..

When I have done this the agents have made a point of showing me the tags with the end destination on them rather than the intermediate point but then I was on the same airline but can't see how it would be different in your case.

And BOS seams to be a ver popular v-flyer destination at the moment. Am getting very jealous! If you get chance go and see the new Art of the Americas wing at the Museum of Fine Arts - its spectacular.
