Does British Airways Recognize OneWorld Emerald Status?
How does British Airways recognize One World Emerald Elite status?
Is it different because it’s not US-based?
I made a booking (refundable) and it is charging me to select seats!!!
Do I not get OneWorld Emerald benefits on British Airways?
I am One World Emerald and usually, it lets me pick a premium seat for free, and sometimes automatically puts me on a waiting list for first class.
Do I need to call in this case or are there no British Airways Emerald benefits?

You need to enter your frequent flyer number that has your elite status, so probably add your AA number to the BA reservation.
A quick call to BA can add it.

OneWorld status is a huge perk and should have reciprocity across all OneWorld partners regardless of which airline you earned it on.
I suggest searching for and reading all of the benefits analysis and instructions articles out there.

OneWorld is an umbrella – but your status is attached to one airline.
That airline’s frequent flyer number has to be on your booking.
I don’t know if you can do that via BA’s website (a lot of airlines don’t allow you to add another airline’s frequent flyer number on award bookings) but you should be able to do it via Finnair or Royal Jordanian’s websites.

You probably just need to add your AA frequent flyer number to your BA booking.
Hopefully that fixes it!
But I know BA also has super weird rules like they charge paid business class passengers a fee to pick a seat.
Also my brother had an issue where he had One World status but was flying a basic economy international ticket and they wouldn’t let him check his bag for free, so you never know what is going on with them.
