TPs/lounge access on BA coded AB flight
So, need to go to NUE - the BA-coded flight is about £30 more than the AB code, which is worth the extra if I get miles and TPs, and if I can use the LGW lounge (on the strength of my shiny new CX Gold card - thanks Amex 
)
I'm sure there was a thread about this a while ago, but can't find it... sorry.
PS - why does ba.com show prices for the codeshare flights excluding taxes/fees/surcharges, instead of inclusive as for all others ? And it's still the old style skin...

You'll get the miles and teepees, as if it were a BA operated flight.
But there's no reason to expect lounge access, as it's not a OneWorld flight, therefore OW benefits do not apply.
BA do not necessarily provide lounges for non-OW flights which they market (a la BE, IG etc) unless BA/AB have a specific arrangement.
