Thank you, I haven't flown any other OneWorld partners before.
Yes, just like your AA frequent flyer number has to be put in to every AA reservation. Your corporate booking system can probably do that if you use one. Alaskaair.com also lets you save an AA frequent flyer number in your profile, though you may have to have an Alaska frequent flyer number to create an account (not sure).

Did the premium class for EXP +1 roll out yet? I have a ticket with 3 passenger booked a month ago and all 3 are still in the main cabin, not on a Saver X fare. Premium class is wide open.

Searched the thread but if it's been addressed I missed it. Traveling in paid F EWR-SEA on a Horizon 739. Will I have lounge access at either end? EXP and AC member if that's relevant. And what kind of meal service should I expect?

According to this page paid first class passengers get lounge access regardless of status.

I have been upgraded to premium class with a companion, but it required a call and 30 minutes on hold. eh. My guess is you’ll have to call in and get the PNR split and the request the premium class seats. If there are premium class seats available they should assign them immediately. If your experience is different welcome you sharing how it went.

EWR-SEA route should be operated by mainline only. I can't find that flight number though. All paid F have access to AS lounge incl. on arrival. For EWR AC, you will need your AC membership. Status doesn't matter on this route regarding lounge access. See What Will Alaska Airlines Be Serving in First Class on Your Flight? (2021) you can expect a decent full-service meal with 2 choices or a cold fruit cheese platter, warmed cookie, and a snack basket. Full bar.

Yes, I think Google Flights displayed the wrong information. It's an AS mainline flight, no. 791.

Elite Benefits on Alaskan
Do any of the elite benefits on AS, such as priority boarding, and free checked luggage, extend to a companion traveling with the elite member?
Thanks

To answer my own question: While the AA website does not seem to address this obvious question, the AS site does. Companions are covered.

Yes. I'm AA EXP and traveled with my spouse SFO-ANC last month. Received baggage allowance, preferred seating (Row 7, but not upgraded to first) and was able to access the club in ANC.

OP got the AS code correct, I doubt anyone including yourself didn't know what airline OP was talking about.
But thanks for helping
