Lacking premium economy, I'm assuming that AA would accommodate us in Y rather than J. That would suck of its own right, but would we at least get WTP tier points & Avois for having paid for that ticket? Does anyone have experience with such a situation?
BA Exec Club rules say:
12.5. Where a Member is involuntarily re-routed by British Airways onto another carrier, and the original flight on which the Member was booked would have qualified for Avios Points, the Member may still claim such Avios Points online at ba.com. British Airways will endeavour to credit the Member's account with the appropriate Avios Points however it may be necessary for details of the Member's itinerary, including the retained segment of the boarding pass and passenger receipts to be sent to the Member's local service centre in order to claim any Avios Points credit.
I imagine for these purposes that you would be treated as having been re-routed by BA since you were originally booked on BA metal.
Experience is that it is much harder to get BA to award Avios / tier points based on original class/route if the original flight was with a Oneworld partner rather than BA.
