It must be coded as an LY flight in order to get the cheaper O class fare.
Alternatively, is there a published AA fare JFK-TLV-JFK which would allow one to fly JFK-LHR on AA and then LHR-TLV-JFK on LY? I am wondering whether AA is now reluctant (after the JBA with BA) to allow a JFK-LHR-TLV-JFK fare which would include LY rather than BA.
Yes there is.
Finally, if I must buy the LY coded ticket, can I still use my AA elite status to reserve the exit row on the JFK-LHR portion?
You should be able to do that but I think you will have to call AA to reserve the seat as you wont be able to do it online.
