Access to other Oneworld members’ priority booking lines

What the title says really. I have a first class Alaska booking which I cannot amend because it says I have to contact their phone line. This amusingly has, it says, a 10 hour delay…

I am BA GGL.

Does anyone know whether I can use Alaska’s priority lines, which I have located, either because I am travelling in first or because I am a Oneworld Emerald?

I tried to find this on the Oneworld site but could not. Maybe I am a bad reader of websites :-)

No, not a Oneworld benefit. In any event if you call one of the AS elite numbers if it doesn’t recognize your phone number as an AS elite or you don’t input an AS elite mileage plan number that is elite if will just dump you in the regular queue.
There is a thread in the AS forum about the 10 hour wait time message and a number of people have reported much shorter waits.

If you haven't tried already, I'd call in to the BA GGL line and just ask them. I've never done it myself but have heard that AA has something for their EXPs at least where they can put them in the priority queue on at least some partner airlines (JL, BA, IB, if not more).

Thanks. I did try this but on Alaska bookings BA say they no can do.
