I two questions which I hope someone can please answer for me.
1. What is my free luggage allowance (checked) for the SYD-LAX QF flight? Will it be QF rules or AA? I understand that the for LAX-LHR flight I will have to pay $60 for my 2nd checked bag (I have been living in Oz for a year and am returning to the UK so want to take more than just 1 bag!)- that's fine but I don't want to get to the airport and have QF start charging me per kg.
From the general Qantas website QF eco to the USA is 2 x 23kg, but there is no where on my booking that specifies what my allowance is. Does anyone have experience of this?
2. I am a BA exec blue member & my SYD-LAX (QF) flight is coming up under my membership, but the AA leg isn't- is this normal? I thought being 'OneWorld' both should come up- but maybe I am assuming too much!
Many thanks to anyone who can help!
Welcome to FT! For the QF flight you will have a two bags allowance. And yes, it is possible that segments don't show up. I would still call AA to double check that the ticket has been issued correctly.

Hubby and I want to visit his family in Scotland sometime between June 16-July 7. Least expensive fares so far are on AA.com & range between $570-$866 from 6.19-7.4.12 (coach of course).
These flights are also operated by BA, so I looked at the seat layout for WT (coach, right?) and WT+ and neither looks appealing for the 10+ hour segment from SAN-LHR. Least expensive Business class is $2679/pp,
BUT there is no premium class cabin for the LHR-GLA segment, so it kills me to think I would be paying for service I can't even receive!
Any advice on finding promo codes, discounts, or sales for this route would be greatly appreciated. We used to take CO SAN-EWR-GLA, but that option doesn't exist anymore and we don't have enough CO FF miles to buy even part of the trip there via United.
Thanks for any help you can give.
Congratulations on your first post. You are correct, there is no premium cabin on those flights. Like most flights within Europe, even if there is a business class, the Y class seats are used and the sandwich you get is better. But you are still buying a fully flat bed for the TATL sector and lounge access in London. The 60 minutes of Y seating won't really matter. In regards to promo codes etc, the BA forum is the best place to check for that.
