Combing through partner fares on alaskaair.com

Stop me if you've heard this one: I'm looking to book some international travel (presumably paid rather than award), and would prefer to do so through Alaska to profit off the EQM bump. I'm looking for premium econ / business. Let's use Condor as an example: I've identified flight combos that price out "reasonably" to me in J. When I mosey over to alaskaair.com, the price is 50% higher. So it seems clear that AS is either upcharging, or else using a different fare code for their system. Which makes sense, and I have no grievance with it. The problem I'm trying to solve is how to best go about this sort of searching? Maybe the answer is that I just can't do what I'd like to do? Alaskaair.com doesn't let me search for J specifically: when searching it presents the cheapest numbers for the day, not in the selected fare class.

Please ask follow-ups if I've failed to adequately describe the problem. I tried searching through this thread, and while I found some posts discussing partner bookings, I didn't see much specifically related to searching for premium fare classes...

Thanks!
