Hello, my TP year ended on 8th December and my Gold card expires today. While I was still gold (during November 23) I bought a ticket for April this year, but of course I will be Silver during the actual travel. I have a couple of questions and I would like to write them in order:

- Will some gold benefits still be applied to this booking? meaning specifically 2x32kg luggage for me and everybody on the booking?
- I picked and have right now exit row seats on the long haul leg - will they remove it from me?
- What boarding group is for Silver members on BA long haul operated flights? Is it 2 or 3?
- I travel with my parents and wife on the same booking reference and non of them have any BA status - will all of us be allowed to use the business class check-in desks and will all of us have the same boarding group? In other words will the BAEC Silver status benefits applies to them as well? Excluding the lounge access of course.
