If I am travelling from Tallinn to Brussels with a stopover in Frankfurt, can I check in online directly in Brussels?
Yes, you can check in from Tallinn to Brussels.
If I have flights in Schengen on one ticket with Lufthansa with a connection in FRA, the same on the return only one flight is with Lufthansa and the other with Air Dolomiti On behalf of Lufthansa (all flights have the code LHneco), purchased entirely on the Lufthansa website, am I correct in assuming that I will check us in on the Lufthansa app for both flights there and then for both flights back and that the app will generate boarding passes for both flights there and then back? Or do I have to check in extra for the Air Dolomiti segment? Does Lufthansa and Air Dolomiti currently differ?
Thanks. Sorry for the probably stupid question, but I haven't flown this way in quite a while...
The mother of Air Dolomiti is Lufthansa, so here I would expect it to go complete.
I flew like this now in February, one Lufthansa segment, the other Discover Airlines (back the other way), outside Schengen, check-in on the LH app for both flights, we sat next to each other.
