Just one person who qualifies for the free Main Cabin Extra Seats can get them free for up to eight travelling companions who would not qualify by their own status. Otherwise, it costs between $8 and $108 per segment: depending on the length of the flight. It also gets Priority Boarding (not Priority AAccess but guaranteed Group 1). How will BA react to that? The AA Y product for status holders will take some beating.
