I think AA basic fares include free luggage for Silver and above? What if I buy a basic BA-marketed, but AA operated basic fare from the BA website? Will I get the TPs and the four BA segments? What if the BA-marketed fare includes a mix of AA and BA-operated flights? How will the checked luggage policy apply?
