So my question remaining is how to handle the transition. Do I book flights using my TG *G, and go all the way through check-in at the airport to get my extra baggage allowance, better seat, etc. and then ask the gate agent to swap FF numbers for OZ for accrual? I'm sure there's a logical way to approach it, please let me know if I'm missing something about how to do it for the next several months here, until I reach OZ Diamond aka *G.
Thanks All.
Most carriers would deny making the move of switching *A FFP due to cross-benefiting. You can technically change the FFP number on some airlines at the gate or after you have entered the lounge via an airport agent or the mobile app; however, on some airlines, you may risk not receiving miles on both Thai and Asiana or the gate agent may reject switching the FFP numbers as you have benefited from the advantages of the Thai *G.
It completely depends on the airline you're flying and the airport agent.
