Yesterday, for the first time ever, my BA boarding pass showed "Emerald". Curious if it being an AA codeshare may have played a role.

Another glimmer of hope - my last three BA bookings allowed me to select seats for free, without the "deleting-reentering-trying the Finnair site- trying the Qatar site- finally calling or online chat requesting" dance. Though my dance steps were getting pretty good with practice, I'm not sad to sit the dance out.

A OW exec was kind enough to reply and the relevant portion is below:

We do however not maintain physical locations or “Global Support desks” across these airports. In case of any questions, we would recommend for the customer to speak directly to a member airline agent for assistance.



Please also note, that depending on operational circumstances, our Global Support staff may not always be able to meet every flight but will prioritize those flights with the majority of at-risk connections.
With respect to OW status not reflecting on an itinerary, the advice is still to seek help from the operating carrier. 🤙🏻🥃
