Am I just doing something wrong or is it simply not possible? On BA.com It will search using the AA RDU to LHR flight, then onto Dublin, but of course the surcharges are so high,
thanks in advance
I would check availability for each individual leg on BA (and maybe EI for the EI leg) and then call BA to try book the flight via avios. This might work as at times the IT is not up to scratch for these options. You may get hit with a phone booking fee but this is not much and you may be able to argue it away saying you had no other option but to call as you couldn't do it online.
