BA Blue but One World Sapphire - bennies
Hi, as described I'm a BA blue but lifetime sapphire via AA. I've booked a LON-NCE and used my BAEC number so as to qualify for the >16k Avios promotion, Too mean to pay for a seat, so I'm in the middle someplace with Group 5 boarding. Bearing in mind I have a digital AA card showing no expiration date in my iPhone wallet (but no physical card), how do I best access the usual perks I'm entitled to by virtue of OWS i.e. Club check-in at T5, fast track security, lounge access and group 2 boarding? Do I just need to whip out the iPhone at every stage? Thanks!

When I switched from AA (Sapphire) to BA I'd put my AA number in, then change in the lounge on the Finnair website. Boarding card, etc still showing Sapphire. Only once did the points not credit right, but two quick phone calls and it was fixed no problem.
