This is kind of convoluted.

Looking at the Alaska Airlines, they have availability on Emirates.

Looking at a return flight from Mru to Bos. I can fly on BA but would like to avoid the fuel surcharge and the hassle of transferring from Gatwick to Heathrow.
Options to get an AA award to MRU on Oneworld/AA partners and not fly on BA (= surcharges) are zero
You need to look at other alliances/airlines
