The AA policy is on the AA web site

Himeno; Please provide the OneWorld link
Others have been asked but have failed to provide a verifiable link/direct crediable evidence.

Someone quoted an email reply they got from oneworld in this forum a few months ago.

Whilst it's not evidence of a oneworld policy directly, it does show that BA treats BA to oneworld connections on separate PNRs differently.

If anything it's suggestion of the opposite. "Also, in the event of delay or disruption at transfer point, British Airways will not be responsible for any rerouting process because passengers hold separate contracts for each separate journey."

Of course this is aimed at travel agents not at BA staff nor at customers.

My guess really is that BA does not wish to admit that it will generally cross protect passengers.

Absolutely, except when it comes to the reference to BA to BA or BA to oneworld:

Whilst it's not inconclusive proof, it does highlight that BA treats oneworld connections differently to non-oneworld connections. It's a specific exception to their separate ticket policy.

What it doesn't say is that what they WILL do. It makes me wonder if there is a specific oneworld policy on this with connection protection, though.

That is not the reading I had. The exclusion of unconnected missed transfer liability is given in a new paragraph, distant from the exceptional permittance of unconnected BA-oneworld check-through.

Or perhaps you are right, as it appears to be a continuance of the discussion about passengers collecting and re-checking luggage. I am not sure.

You made a statement. You need to prove it and back it up with verifiable credible evidence.
Not some 2nd or 3rd or 4th hand innuendo.

I don't think there is any evidence.

Such evidence likely exists but would be CiC - i.e. "Commercial In Confidence" and not publicly revealable by those with legitimate access.

Hi!
I will have a flight with Lan and then the continuation with IB, in different tickets. I have enough time for the connection, but my question is about my luggage. I bought a rate in IB without luggage, I have to pay for it at check in, so, I´m wondering if the Lan agent would be able to check me in for the whole trip and send my luggage to my final destination. I can pay for the luggage online before the flight, but I don´t know if that would make a difference.

Holy moly I had to read this policy off the website to the agent but it saved my bacon on a two ticket flight to Europe

What web site?
Agent for which airline & where?

Presumably American Airlines ...

The AA agency reference policy (http://www.aa.com/i18n/agency/Bookin...tkt_policy.jsp) as discussed up thread.

The agent I had on Friday during the horrible snow rebooking swore no policy like this existed so I read it to her and she wrote it down and then put me on hold to go ask the lead agent who confirmed it existed. I would have HUCA but it was a 2+ hr wait on the EXP line and I had to travel in a few hours.

What AA does is not necessarily the same as other Oneworld airlines do.
The thread is about Oneworld protection or lack thereof
