At least I get paid for it (usually). Only one holiday trip with metal cage this year.
I probably get over 500k before tracking period ends.

Still, it is little bit too much.

So my period ends with some 222k points and 174 segments. Bad planning. Unnecessary idiot runs over 150 legs.
including other airlines, yearly legs becomes some 200 which means roughly every workday up in the air. Tough butt.
And this is continuing this way even if I would not like to repeat Lumo by pulling legs.

Does anyone have experiences flying American Airlines or British Airways as Lumo?

Sometimes, BA GGL gets CK treatment when flying AA. Has anyone had this VIP treatment/reciprocation?

Just my personal experience with other OW airlines. With BA I was treated like any other OWE. Same with CX. With IB, no recognition of any kind.

No, there is no Lumo recognition outside Finnair.

What sort of treatment? Like car transfers at large hubs with tight connections?

Yes, VIP car transfers or escort on arrival.

Guys, I said flying AA and BA. It's JV reciprocal.

Not CX, not IB, nothing else.

Dude, what JV are you talking about if you want to include AA, BA and AY in your enquiry, but specifically exclude IB?

I guess it is, because didn't BA and AA actually start some kind of JV / close cooperation years before the current North Atlantic JV? Back when they finally started awarding points for each other's UK-US flights, and at 100 % for all Y booking classes. My guess is that the BA-AA bond is still stronger than the BA-AA-IB-AY bond is.

Very possible. If you are interested, there are a few FT threads on this topic such as Consistent Concierge Key treatment at ORD for BA GGL

Well, a TSA rep in Chicago noticed that my BP included a few more people in the lounge invitation than normally. Besides that, hardly anyone even knows what Lumo is outside AY.

But Y, why did I do it then? If it is only my domestic fellow passengers (basically my customers from a small town; embarrased already!)
noticing me stepping inside the L1?

To the point where DXB lounge dragons treat Platsku better than Lumo

It might make sense for OW to introduce a general tier above OWE.
