The JBA basic fares are a bit of a minefield and the table's a great help. Many thanks Prospero. I know there have been grumbles about the basic fares, but they can work well, particularly when armed with the information above. I got a ridiculous fare to DC for a weekend trip. With no baggage, I got all the benefits on BA, inc a bulkhead seat with BAEC Gold.

I see above that American is down as not offering priority boarding. Never done a transatlantic JBA basic fare with them, but thought I got priority boarding on some basic domestic fares on AA, is that an error in the table, different rules for JBA fares or is my memory letting me down?
