When you redeem AA miles on any carrier, you must do so via AA (either aa.com, or calling in). When you redeem BA Avios on any carrier, you must do so via BA (either ba.com, or calling in).

If there are partner award seats available on AB metal, they should show up at both aa.com and ba.com. If nothing shows up, then partner award seats on AB are likely unavailable.

Another option is to call BAEC and ask about availability for JFK-DUB-VIE on EI. Surcharges for award travel on EI are modest, but EI award seats cannot be displayed on ba.com.
