I have 3 segments booked on IT for next month ... wish I could get AA miles for those ....
but it seems like I will be able to get BA miles .... or at the minimum we should start collecting IT miles ...

I'm getting repeated reports of AA Platinums and AA Executive Platinums being granted lounge access by IT at DEL when flying IT coach domestically from DEL. Not sure why this access is being granted, but this is either indicative of a policy change related to OW tie-ups or a case of YMMV as a result of agents of the airline and/or lounge not knowing what they should be doing.

EDITED TO ADD: Apparently all six OW airlines serving DEL will be using the IT lounge as per: http://www.flightglobal.com/articles...-oneworld.html

Rumours are that in DEL T3, IT will have a brand spanking new lounge in which BA will be using for their 2x daily LHR flights.

Can one credit a IT flight to an AA account? I have an ORD-DEL-BLR itin with the DEL-BLR segment on IT. Its the same itinerary but the DEL - BLR does not appear as an AA Code share or flight number.

You cannot currently credit IT flights to an AA account, but sooner or later that is going to be a possibility as IT moves closer to becoming a full member of Oneworld. IT crediting to CO (and UA in effect) is currently possible. I expect that IT relationship will eventually bite the dust along with some other IT partnerships.
