Looking at using Avios to book PHX-OGG for 32k Avios and I have AA EXP but do not want to get stuck in the back of Y for a 6hr flight.
I have had no issues when using AY manage booking section for this.
Use your BA PNR to look up the reservation, then there is an option to change your FF#, which you will change out to your AA#.

Once complete, and nearly instantaneously for me, your itinerary should show up in your AA account.
As recently as this past weekend i flew on an itinerary after having completed these steps at booking. I was properly listed on the UG list.
