KUL transit on separate tickets

[Per_Travels]

Hi all,

I'm looking at booking a PER-KUL-LHR trip as two separate bookings. first a revenue PER-KUL on MH and then KUL-LHR as a QF Classic Reward on MH metal. If this was on one booking I'd get the MH 126 departing PER at 02:20, Arr KUL at 07:55 to connect with MH4 at 09:25.
Given it'll be two separate bookings the plan is to get an earlier flight to KUL (flight MH 124 Depart 15:15 and Arr KUL at 22:00 the night before).

Now to the question - will MH through check bags for this itinerary? The reason being - I understand that there's a transit hotel airside at KUL which could presumably be used if the bags are through checked and you have the onward boarding pass (which I presume you'd be able to get via online check in or at an MH desk in Perth or airside at KUL). This would be easier than exiting through immigration.

Thoughts?

Thoughts?

Not sure about checking through, but there is an Aerotel Landside at KLIA2 - generally can be prebooked from MYR136 for 6 hours.

There's a free 24 hour transit bus service or the airtrain is about $1 each way.

I've stayed at the airside hotel (confusingly labels itself Terminal 1 but is in fact in Satellite A) - it was OK. It meant I could access the MH lounges for a free dinner on arrival before retiring for the night, and enjoyed breakfast in the same way before my 1 hour flight to Singapore.
However, to the crux of your question - I was HLO.

Thanks for the replies. I've had a read of a thread on Flyertalk and it seems like the official policy of MH should mean that they will through check the bags:

For flights on oneworld member airlines, Malaysia Airlines still allows passengers to check-through to a final destination with baggage even if the sectors are ticketed separately on separate bookings provided the travel begins with Malaysia Airlines. Please note that this may not be possible on your return journey if travel begins with another oneworld member airline that chooses to adhere to the new oneworld obligation. Certain oneworld and code-share flights allow our passengers to check-through while some do not. Please confirm the status of your ticket at the check-in counter.

Thanks - if it was me, I too would be HLO. However - this is for my daughter, and she certainly won't be
