Hi all - sorry for being spammer at the moment - lots of things going and lots of changes are sparking lots of questions for me. Most of the people who will reply to this will probably see the context of some of my other threads (aa platinum challenge, managing my seat booking etc.)
I am just trying to understand what status benefits I can expect to see/need to push for on my future travels. Ok the context is:
Currently QF Gold
Undertaking AA Platinum challenge - should be complete 3 November
I generally fly QF business class international (on business) and have one domestic QF flight and one international WT+ on BA planned (before I hit AA Platinum).
I have now allocated all future flights to my AA number. This means I think that when I book and turn up for all my QF flights they wont recognise me before the flight as either QF Gold or Oneworld Sapphire (until I get AA Platinum I think).
As I see at the moment if I continued as Gold I would get the following benefits when:
Travelling economy on QF:
Priority baggage
10KG extra luggage
Better chance of seat closer to front
QP access
Business class check in
Travelling business class on QF:
Priority baggage
10KG extra luggage
Better chance of seat closer to front (?)
Travelling BA WT+:
Business Class priority check-in
Priority standby and waitlisting
Boarding at convenience
Lounge access
I think the key thing that I am losing is the extra 10KG allowance as that isnt an allowance on AA. Out of interest is the 10KG only on QF flights? In which case for my WT+ flight to BKK I am guessing that I wont be able use the extra 10KG...
