AA and Alaska Airlines Reduce Partnership Perks Effective 1 Jan 2018
See article by Gary Leff on July 6, 2017 (link)
Effective January 1 2018:
- AA will only allow EQM-EQS-EQD (and presumably award miles) on American Airlines marketed ("codeshare") flights operated by Alaska Airlines (AS marketed flights will not accrue AA EQM-EQS-EQD)
- "American Airlines elite frequent flyers will no longer receive travel benefits — such as priority check-in, priority boarding, access to preferred seats, and free checked bags — on Alaska Airlines." (Gary Leff)
Some current partnership benefits will continue:
- AAdvantage awards using AS flights will still be allowed.
- Admirals Club members will continue to have Alaska Lounge (formerly Board Room) access with same day travel on an AA or AS marketed and operated flight.

Not unless you count the seasonal DFW flights or SEA codeshares, but point well-taken.

Unless you're flying on a codeshare flight, I don't see a way to do it. (I don't know if there are AA marketed flights on these routes and how these fare compared to booking the Alaska prime flight number.)

Pay for your Alaska Airlines ticket on a card that earns AAdvantage miles?

The baggage allowance will be on the ticket receipt. What does it say there?

Not relevant for status-based bag fee waivers.
