Hello,

I was due to fly PSA-LHR-JFK today on AA flight numbers booked thru AA.com (the PSA-LHR was on BA metal, LHR-JFK on AA).

BA cancelled my flight from PSA-LHR today without explanation. Other flights to/from the UK on other carriers are operating.

I called up AA today to rebook. They put me on a FLR-LHR-JFK flight tomorrow leaving in the early afternoon. Flight numbers are IB from FLR-LHR and then BA from LHR-JFK.

The IB flight is actually operated by Vueling, which I understand to be a low-cost carrier. AAdvantage reservations said they had to keep me on Oneworld carriers if we were going through FLR or BLQ.

A few questions:

1) What, if any, compensation am I entitled to due to the cancellation of my original flight?

2) What is my luggage allowance going to be on Vueling? I have a AA Gold status, and am continuing onward on the same reservation to the US, but at the same time I hear they charge for the first bag, and they are not a OW airline as far as I know.

3) If I have to pay for checking in my bag to Vueling, can I claim reimbursement from AA or BA since had BA not cancelled my original flight, I would have been entitled to 2 checked bags free of charge?

Any advice appreciated!
