Collecting Avios on US Airways ?
If I book - before 31 March - a US Airways operated flight (departing on 31 March / returning 2 April ) on an AA flight number will I receive Avios / TPs ? Can I use BA/AA/OW lounges (travelling biz, GCH) ?

I appreciate any advice. Thank you

US Airways joins OneWorld on 31 March. So from that date you should earn avios/TP's. Date flight is booked is irrelevant. But keep your physical boarding pass. You could book the US Airways flight number.

Do we think ba.com will be updated to offer more US-Airways flights? I'm having trouble booking CLT-LHR as part of a multi-city BA booking.

As previously mentioned, US joins OneWorld on 3/31. I doubt BA will have US flights available for booking prior to that date.

On a related note, I am flying to HKG from DCA with CX via ORD, departing Mar 27. I just noticed the DCA-ORD leg is US Airways instead of AA. Will I be able to claim Avios for the outbound flight to ORD?

As US will not be a member of oneworld on 27MAR I doubt that you will receive avios for that segment.

Has there been any indication what the Avios/TP earnings rates will be yet? I'm hoping that it will be the same as AA.

I hope they are the same as AA as well. I have a fair few GLA-PHL returns booked up over the summer and autumn months.

Any idea if I would earn avios with a AA operated and US marketed flight?

BA.com can't handle it just now but the call-centre can. All US flights have AA flight numbers too so my DUB-PHL-PHX-HNL-LAX-CLT-DUB booking is on 125 stock but AA flight nos, all op by US (except HNL-LAX)
