It says on there that you wont be able to check in a luggage, unable to choose seat but if I am an emerald, will I be able to check in luggage fr free, choose a seat in advance even my ticket is basic? I dunno the rules of Iberia/BA.. thanks much
An AA EXP who purchases a Basic Economy fare on AA still gets free checked bags, priority boarding, and use of the priority check-in lines. What you don't get to do is select a seat.
As to what, if any, benefits a oneworld Emerald gets on a BA or IB Basic Economy fare, I'm afraid that you're asking in the wrong place. Regulars on the BA and IB forums should be able to tell you what, if anything, a OWE gets on those fares.
