Great thread guys! Perfect example of the collective knowledge that makes PPRuNe so interesting to read
Would I be right in assuming that it is possible to get your boarding card issued if you make two independent bookings during the same journey? Hypothetically, if I have two separate tickets, e.g. DUB-AMS with Aer Lingus, then AMS-FRA with Lufthansa, could I get my Lufthansa boarding pass issued by Aer Lingus staff in Dublin (assuming I had no checked baggage)?
If online check-in is not available, this might take a lot of the stress out of making independent point-to-point bookings.
