Are there any legitimate lounge or baggage benefits when flying on GOL if an AA Exec Platinum? I may also fly to Argentina.

American's website only lists these 5 benefits, wonder if I am going to get charged an arm and a leg for a carry on plus a 50 lb bag or if I should just fly whichever airline is cheapest rather than being OneWorld loyal per se... somewhat anyways.

As someone who hasn't been to Brazil since 2016... Obrigado!
