Can I use Iberia Plus account AVIOS to book either GOL or TAM one way domestic flight

Q:
1. Can I use Iberia Plus account AVIOS to book either GOL or TAM one way domestic flights in Brazil without having an Iberia flight on the same PNR?
2. Has anyone had success in booking either GOL or TAM flights using Iberia AVIOS?
3. How do I search for TAM awards on the TAM website?

Basically
Im trying to book one way domestic internal flights in Brazil using Iberia plus account Avios as there is no availability showing on BA.com for my dates-even though there are TAM and GOL award flights available (looking at Expertflyer for GOL)
Having had the run around from several IB agents who were clueless I thought I had found the one who knew what she was doing.
However:
Having found GOL flights available and confirming these could be booked using AVIOS she came upon an error:
Supposedly these flights have to be booked in association with an Iberia flight. This is also the case for TAM domestic too.
So before I ring again in the hope of trying again and wasting more time would appreciate andy past experiences.
Im ringing the 020 73565 5494 UK number.

Haven't tried via Iberia + as the prices in Avios are much higher than prices for BA or IB flights. Besides, if there is no availability for BA there will be none for Iberia. I guess even if there is availability it will be very poor use of Avios.

You can't book one way awards on OW partners using Iberia Plus Avios. Or on GOL either I imagine.

Thanks for the reply.

So if I ask for a return do you think I'll succeed?

The error and answer I got as to why it was not possible did not refer to the trip being a one way.
