Thanks in advance!
No, you can't use Alaska miles. And it doesn't matter because you can't use AA miles to upgrade on Aer Lingus anyway. As for completing the Plat Challenge on the Ireland flight, you're aware presumably that it will only count if you're using the AA flight number on the EI flight, right?
