AA may have woken up !
Got another email from AA today,and guess what.......
AA Gold members will now be able to reserve seats on all
BA flights from 16th November 2011, slight sting in the tail is
that you can only do it 7 days before your flight, not when you
book the flights.It is a step in the right direction so let's give them some
credit for this.AA also confirmed the other AA Gold benefits are in place
Will update and let you know if it works in practice.
