BA Silver exec club card holder query

wrote: As a silver member I realise I can check-in at a BA BC desk if I were flying BA but what is the situation about checking in at the BC desk with Air Lingus or am I not allowed. If I were to book with BA can we both check-in at the BC desk even though one of us is not even a member. I understand I can invite him, as my guest, into the BA BC lounge if I were travelling with BA but what would the situation be if we are travelling Air Lingus (One World partner). Can we use the BA lounge and if not will my Silver membership allow the use of the Air Lingus lounge? Suggest you have a read of the "Silver" section at http://www.oneworld.com/satellite/sa...fm?teamcode=ba "As a Silver member, you will also be entitled to the following benefits when flying on oneworld alliance airlines: -Access (with one guest) to more than 200 airline lounges across the oneworld network, including Business Class & Frequent Flyer lounges regardless of the class you are flying that day -Priority check-in at Business Class desks, regardless of the class you are flying that day" Strictly speaking only you are entitled to check-in at the Business desk, but in my (somewhat limited) experience with BA and QF, when travelling with someone else check-in staff are accommodating and use their common sense. When I've checked in at the Business or First desks with BA and QF, the staff have been happy for my wife to check-in with me when travelling together, despite me being the only one with the status to do so. Cheers, Jason. |

You can use FC checkin when there's no BC checkin (mainly for American Airlines) When I've checked in at the Business or First desks with BA and QF, the staff have been happy for my wife to check-in with me when travelling together, despite me being the only one with the status to do so.

BA Silver = OW Sapphire (Gold=Emerald, no BA status equivalent to OW Ruby) Yes, but you need to click on the 'Silver' link to get to the Sapphire information! On the subject of OW Ruby, anyone have any ideas why BA don't 'offer' it, when other OW airlines (Qantas for example) do? Cheers, Jason. |

On the subject of OW Ruby, anyone have any ideas why BA don't 'offer' it, when other OW airlines (Qantas for example) do? BA only has two elite tiers, so they can only match to two tiers of OW. AA has 3 elite tiers, so they can match all of them. |

Incorrect. BA actually has three elite tiers. Silver, Gold and Premier. Perhaps they don't want people to find out. Here's the weblink http://www.britishairways.com/travel...g/public/en_us |
