Except with seats, I am always bumped into LAST row on intra EU routes, so no status recognition in this matter, besides I am pretty sure, they don't offer free checked bags, for basic fares. You must buy classic, then you get 1 additional bag for free. If that was true, TP would be the only *A member to offer theses benefits to Gold cards. Me, as LH*G I get NOTHING if I purchase the light fare (even though it can be as much as 800€) on my own LH group carriers.
