free bag on AA award codshare US metal?
« on: July 24, 2014, 11:09:29 PM »
I am booking a domestic AA award flying on a US flight
I have AA exec CC (which, seems from t&c that I don't get the bag free)
also have Aegean *S, as well as USair visa

any way to get the bag free? will the CC work? can I use finair to add my Aegean FFN? my US FFN?
or am I SOL?

on that note, does Aegean still work for us post merger?
Also, will Finn even give me the option of Aegean, being not part of its alliance?

No & no. Why did you even ask if you know?

Why should you be able to pull it up in checkmytrip? AA & US are not Altea airlines

update:
called US, they refused to switch the AA ffn for the US one.
they also claimed that the US ffn on its own (linked to US CC) would only cover the 1st segment, that I need to bring both CCs to check-in.
a) I assume she's making it up, and that 1st segment rules re domestic baggage fees. correct?
b) should I HUCA USair to attach my US ffn? can they do that?
(have not been able to access via Finnair,not by AA record locator nor by US one)

latest update: got a US rep to change the FFN to my US one, so I'm guessing that should solve it.
(in a possibly best case scenario my US PNR pulls up with my US FFN, while my AA PNR still pulls up my AA FFN)
