2. Different from 1st trip - 4 award pax on HNL(codeshare) booked with AA miles and have the primary card holder with FFN on the reservation. Again, strict reading of the rules indicates Codeshares on HNL metal would not receive free bags but report above indicates Alaska gave benefit. Any experience with free bags extended, or routine denials per the official terms?
1. No. PNRs are not separate due to operational reasons and the 1st checked bag charge will apply for the passengers on the award booking.
2. Is this an AA*/AS flight or an AS*/AA flight? If it's AA-marketed/AS-operated, I don't think you'd have any luck, but if it's AS-marketed/AA-operated, you will most likely get the 1st checked bag fee waived.
