As Gold ..am I able to check a bag on my return? If so, would the free bag carry on over to the connecting BA flight?
Is YVR-DFW-LHR-ZRH one ticket?
If so, then yes, you'll be able to check upto 3x 32kg bags. AA will allow you checked bags based on your status without caring what the underlying fare is. I've done done this at least 6 times in the last 2 years, including starting in YUL twice.
On the outbound you will not be able to check any bags at all.
