If you are travelling on separate tickets on Malaysia Airlines flights which connect with our oneworld or codeshare partner carriers, you can now enjoy through check-ins over the counter. This means your baggage can be conveniently checked through to your end destination.

As of June 1, 2016, oneworld alliance members are no longer required to provide through check-in services for passengers and their baggage to their end destinations when travelling on different tickets on separate bookings. This means that if you purchase two or more separate tickets on separate bookings for travel with two or more oneworld airlines, you may need to check yourself and your baggage in at the end of each leg of your journey. But in the spirit of Malaysian Hospitality, we will continue to provide you with through check-in services to your end destination – as long as you start your journey with MH, and book your other tickets with oneworld airlines.
