I am OWE (QF Platinum) And was wanting to know if because my ticket has an AA flight number will this allow me to check my bag in for free? As per the AA baggage policies for OWE passengers?
Do i check in at AA or AS counters and if i check in at AS counters will i have problems proving that i am entitled to check the bag in for free!?
Hopefully this all makes sense and someone can give me an answer!?
If i have confused you!? Well sorry and let me know and i will try and explain my question better?
cheers gogo
I don't know the complete answer (and, unfortunately, not to the most important question
), but:
Be aware that AS are not a OW carrier, so this may impact application of the OW rules.
Always check in with the operating carrier at the airport, AS in this case.
Edit: I did find the answer on AA.com
From

I found (bold mine)
Waived Checked Baggage Charge on American Airlines, American Eagle, the AmericanConnection carrier and Alaska Airlines
Cheers.
