2 1W Question

That should say 2 1W Questions


1) Can a BA silver living in North America, 1W Sapphire, get access to Admirals Clubs in the US when travelling on a domestic trip such as DFW-ORD. I ask this because one the 1W site it does not mention if it needs to be domestic or international

[Edited to add thing about title]

2) If you are a BA silver and want earn miles on AA, meaning give AA your AA number, can your Sapphire status still show up on the boarding pass or do you need to use your BA number when flying AA

Thanks in advance

1) Yes, you can use the AC for domestic travel.

2) No, if you enter your AA number, you will not be treated as a Sapphire. However, you should be able to enter the AC when you show them your BA Silver card.

Thanks you

1) This seems a little strange because if you live in North America and chose BA than you get AC, if you choses AA you don't get AC on domestic trips. Go figure
2) I expected this answer

There is the slight disadvantage of not earning AA upgrades. I know it depends on tier points but for you, how many miles of flight did it take to earn/retain BA Silver vs. AA PLT?

Actually what I said does not apply to me becuase all of my flight are Transatlanic which I can not get AA PLT with.

And I rarly fly AA, but when I do I wanted to know if I could us AC

these are the reasons why i still stay with BA despite the terrible EC service.
i.e. AC & FL access, transatalantic quality, etc
