Can you not get a routing on , say , EI directly from DUB to USA?
Thanks. I'm inclined to believe that's the case but I looked on BA.com separately, no YQ for DUB-LHR but YQ for LHR-SFO is not exactly what AA wants to charge for YQ DUB-LHR-SFO (but close enough).

I thought it's not possible to book EI with AA miles. And I guess BA is still 'better' than EI......
