Connection flights with different airlines

when flying from manchester to Nha Trang and having two connecting flights one with emirates and the other with Bangkok airways, how many boarding pass will i receive and when do I receive them and what will happen with my luggage?

Best Answer

You always get one boarding pass per plane you enter.

If you booked it in on one ticket, you typically get all boarding passes at first check-in, and your luggage is nearly always checked through - if you bought separate tickets, it's your problem to every time pick your luggage up and check it in again, and get the further boarding passes.
