Award Changes/Interlining bags

First question – I have 2 awards on separate tickets: GA DPS-SIN booked via FlyingBlue and EY SIN-AUH booked via AAdvantage. Does GA/EY interline bags so that I can get bags tagged all the way to AUH?

Second question: I have JFK-HKG-DPS booked via AAdvantage for October. The first leg is in J and the latter leg is in Y. As of now, there hasnt been J availability for HKG-DPS. If I find that J space opens up once I arrive in HKG, would AAdvantage have any trouble changing my ticket to J? I’m not terribly concerned with flying Y for 3 hours but I would like lounge access at HKG on the morning of my departure.

Thanks!

Not sure about the interlining question. I know [USER=7]@Tiffany[/USER] is able to look up this information somewhere, maybe expertflyer?

AA should be able to upgrade you if space has opened up but I’m not sure how involved the process is once travel has started. Worth trying though.

On the interlining, technically possible, but will depend upon competency of agent:

You should have no problems upgrading the second segment, unless you get a PMUS agent, in which case just keep calling.

Pre-Merger US Air agent :).

[USER=7]@Tiffany[/USER], do you get this information from EF or some other IATA source?
