Using AA FF code on a BA flight
Is there any disadvantage to using my AA frequent flier code on a BA flight? I'm in the US and fly AA and I don't think I'll fly BA that often so getting the AA miles will be helpful. Just want to know if I'll lose out on anything on the flight/terminal/boarding etc. if I don't use the BA FF code.

Look here (similar topic) Any Advantages to Booking on BA vs AA for EP Members?
If you are a member of the AA frequent flyer program (AAdvantage) no benefit in joining the BA freq flyer program (BAEC)

Very useful on BA for free seat selection and priority check in -- can check bags at at Business (sometimes First) Counter. Also priority boarding but BA boarding is such a mess it usually doesn't matter.
