Online Check-in RTW
If I book my RTW and use my BA EC account for the miles, can I use OLCI for the AA / CX legs (which require you to use their FF programs...).
I am registered with AA and Marco Polo, but the flights will be all BA for miles purposes. Will I still be able to use the OLCI for the different airlines? |

It has no access to AA's or CX's. ------------------ Gaza's oneworld & Star Alliance Round the World Information Pages - www.rtw-info.co.uk |
What I meant to ask was can I use AA's or CX's OLCI through their websites? NOT through BA's.

Still no I'm afraid. The lookup on the CX website at least is done by your MP number. If that isn't the one in the record then no online checkin.
However, you could put the you CX number against the CX flights, AA against the AA, etc. do the OLCI and then get them to change the number when you are in the lounge. This works well in my experience on CX and AA, but note that trying to get another number in the BA system to replace a BA number is notoriously difficult. (It rarely happens even when the agent thinks they have changed it successfully.) |
I may be wrong here but I don't think that you can OLCI with a paper ticket on AA. I'm surprised that you can with BA.
