Hi, a question about baggage allowances, would appreciate some advice.
We are considering AS flight next year SJC-PDX, mine a redemption with BA avios and my partner with AA miles, both in Y. I am OW Emerald and she is OW Sapphire.
Would we get free check-in bags or would we have to pay?
Thanks,

Great thanks!
Looks like we have to ring to get the FF number changed - AA miles/BA status.

What is the usual procedure to get compensation for plane swap?
I bought a FC tix and chose 4A. Plane was swapped and only have 3 rows of FC. I got seated in 8F and was told that I'll get reimbursed. Haven't been contacted by AS yet so far. Do I have to proactively request it?

What is the consensus on a 75K booking 2 non-status companions and getting PC seating for all 3 at booking? I know it has been reported being done but is this just an agent being nice? I assume so since I don't think it's technically a benefit?
I know I've seen this discussed on here somewhere but couldn't remember where...

I keep getting phantom availability on Iceland Air award tickets. I seem to remember this is common. Should I bother calling in or won't it make a difference?

Hi, I have a question about Alaska air award ticket. I bought a one way ticket using 15000 miles and $5.60. Will miles post back if I cancel the ticket? Is there a fee associated with miles redeposit to account? On Alaska website, it said “Once you have canceled your ticket, and paid the cancellation fee, and requested that the miles be redeposited, your miles will go back into your account, and any taxes paid will be refunded”. How much is the cancellation fee? I can’t find anywhere. TIA.

I booked IAD-SFO and used a companion cert and GGUs to upgrade to F. The flight was recently cancelled by AS, but I see there is still a DCA-SFO non-stop leaving around the same time on my travel date. Would AS put me on the DCA-SFO flight, and if so, what happens to the GGUs? There is no U space on the DCA-SFO flight so would we get dropped back to Y or would the upgrades transfer over?
