Considering the changes in the oneworld policy of not interlining bags or assiting in IRROPS for tickets on multiple PNRs, and allowing individual oneworld member airlines to decide their own level of service, I want to create a single reference thread for all oneworld member airlines on their written policies on bag interlining and IROPS assistance post-2016 service changes.
Some of this information is spread across the various forums for various airlines, but it will be helpful to compile this for all oneworld members in the same place so that those who travel internationally on multiple alliance airlines can refer to this in one place. One we have enough information, we can copy the current information into a wiki post.
Let's answer the following questions, and also link to the policy documents from the airlines, so that travelers can talk to airline agents when checking in.
Please use this format:
(abbreviations: XX - placeholder for airline code. OW - oneworld airlines. NOW - non-oneworld airlines.

Policy document (document date):
[link to the written policy document from airline website or other reliable source]
[for each of the nine items below, mark 'Bag interline YES/NO, IROPS assistance YES/NO' after the colons, and add any pertinent information in that line after that]
