Which airlines baggage allowance applies on these flights?
I thought it was the operating carrier, but which one counts as the operating carrier in these cases?
IB Iberia.com MMB says that that the flight IB3179/BA520 is operated by BA (?)
that's also what their CS said.
ba.com says operated by BA.
Big difference when it comes to HBO fares and OW status, IB= free bag

IB says it is operated by BA and BA gave different answers, I've called twice.
Why not? nothing has changed, a fair chance that someone else has come across the problem.

I think the post you were reading is over two years old.Some things have changed with the BA/IB setup at T5, and some of the changes have been recent and/or are still in progress: Changes to BA flight numbers for IB services LHR-MAD
can sort it out.
This doesn't sound too promising https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/30129151-post11.html

Flew LGW-BCN and back recently. Booked at iberia.com but flight operated by BA flights BA2707 and BA2708 on BA metal. Unsurprisingly the flights haven't credited to my account. Couldn't add the booking to MMB before flying as error message - no BA flights on this booking even though they were BA flights!
Entered BA FF details for both of us on the booking. Trying to credit flights on ba.com but won't accept the IB ticket number on the partner claim form as the ticket number is only 12 digits.
Any ideas on how I can get these flights credited?

Does the number you used start "75"? If so, I wonder whether may be worth trying it with a leading zero as "075".
