Had trouble with online check in and wasn’t sure how it works when you’ve got two flights on the same airline but one is operated by a different crew. I was stressing about how to get the boarding pass for the second leg without actually entering the country during the connection. Wasn’t sure if there’s a check in desk in the transit area or if I’d missed something on my first trip.
Routing was home country to France to Japan, and I was hoping I could just sort the second boarding pass in the transfer zone.
Anyway, by the time I got to the airport everything worked out. Probably just a full flight causing the online issues. Appreciate everyone who chimed in.
