    Hey all,

    So due to fly to Vietnam tomorrow. Booked flights through lastminute.com. The flights all booked under same booking. THe first flight is Dub to London with BA, have checked in this morning for this, all good. Following two flights are with Malaysian Airlines, I have been unable to check in online for these. I have the MA reference and not showing anything on MA website so having issues checking in online. Rang lastminute and they are useless and said to try later in case site having difficulty. I also tried yesterday as checkin open for 48 beforehand, still couldnt get through.

    Lastminute say worst comes to worst I can checkin at airport, however I land at 10 am and flight out at 12pm. I cant see enough time to land, taxi, get off plane, get outside security, back to check in desk, through security, onto gate for MA within this space of time.

    Any advice?

    When I flew to Alaska it was Aer Lingus to Heathrow, BA to Chicago, AA to Anchorage. iirc, I could only check in for Aer Lingus initially, had to go to the BA and AA desks, but not for very long. Security again, obviously. I think I was able to print the BA boarding pass before leaving Dublin - but my memory is a little hazy. Do you have contact info for Malaysian?

    Go to the check in desk at Dublin airport and get them to check you through. They should issue all your boarding passes.

    You could also contact Malaysian if you're worried. They have a Dublin office.

    contacted MA Dublin office earlier and they said I cant get boarding passes from Dublin, also couldnt check in online due to booking with agent! They said I needed lastminute to pre allocate seats on the flight and I can check in in London. However I just follow for connecting flight and remain airside the whole time so not much extra security to go through. Bags will go right through.

    If Aerlingus in Dublin wont issue your boarding passes (they have for me in Shannon in the past), as mentioned stay airside at heathrow and go to the Malaysian transit desk in your depature terminal who will issue you with your boarding passes. As mentioned your luggae will be checked through if it is all on the one ticket.
