I have a comment and I guess a question...
I am *G and Skyteam Gold. It would help me to gain status on OW but at the moment I avoid it as our company flies only in economy and it would be very difficult to obtain status with BA, even with the 200k+ miles I do every year. I could gain AA status via the challenge easily enough but then do not gain the luggage allowance across the airlines. This is huge for me as I often combine leisure with business trips. That extra 20-25kg makes a huge difference.
Is there anything I have missed regarding the luggage? If I am platinum or even platinum exp on AA I still get only the 23kg on BA, correct?
