Is a checkin agent able to print an extended baggage tag?

Upvote:4

Lufthansa (LH) does not have a baggage interline agreement with Air Alsie (6I):

   MAY CHECK BAGGAGE TO
       AA  AC  AD  AE  AF  AI  AM  AR  AS  AT  AV  AY  AZ  A3  
       BA  BL  BP  BR  BT  B2  B6  CA  CI  CM  CX  CZ  DE  DL  
       DT  EK  EN  ET  EW  EY  E5  FB  FI  FM  FV  GA  GF  GU

Therefore it is very unlikely the check-in agent will be able to print a tag including an Air Alsie flight. If one is printed, it's not clear the bag will be routed correctly.

In times past getting additional flights printed on a label was straightforward (if the carriers interlined to each other): agents knew how to do it and were happy to be helpful. Indeed, alliances like oneworld once made interlined baggage across separate tickets within the alliance it a stated benefit. These days, network airlines in Europe look to minimize costs by delivering a uniform product.
