While transitioning programmes, is it possible to use AA for extra bags/lounge access/fastrack immigration whilst crediting to BAEC (and how)? I'd need to start with tomorrow's so any quick responses would be greatly appreciate.
You can put 1 freq flyer number in the reservation and then change later (manage my booking or at the gate/lounge). Some do after seat selection and others after check in. The change does not always stick
While AA is reducing earning, so has BA (and QF & CX) recently
USA based airline ffp's tend to be more generous (status benefits/earn/burn/upgrades/award cost/award cash surcharges/expiry) compared to non USA based airline ffp’s, (even after the recently announced changes to some USA ffp’s)
What are your objectives from a ffp? What routes?
