AA Pt Pro
Looking at rt routing from SFO-ORD-BCN in July. Purchase on Iberia all AA flights, "Economy Basic" I don't need to check bags, but it appears that I was able to choose seats using my status.
Seems too good to be true, saving ~$200+ rt from AA "Basic Economy" but still getting Pro benefits.
If I purchase with Iberia will I continue to get EQDs based on miles flown vs. fare? I can't find the booking code anywhere.
Any other pitfalls I should be aware of ?
thanks in advance. Hope everyone is staying healthy...time to fly again!
Welcome to FlyerTalk.

As AA is operating the flights, AA will often have their policies supersede Iberia’s on the day of flight. You’ll be able to access your one world Sapphire benefits such as lounge access, etc. Changes in advance you’ll have to work out with Iberia, the day of flight with AA. In my experience, AA handles things significantly better on the ground.

See the thread and link below for your EQD, EQM and bonus miles earnings.

AA earning on Iberia - link (as the marketing airline, the one whose code you fly, determines the earnings)
