How to get Avios and AA availability to work together
Looking for an award seat AGP-MCI on 1/1/22. BA site shows Iberia has 4 Avios seats available on IB3865 (AGP-MAD). Neither aa.com or an American phone agent can see that. BA's site doesn't show availability for AGP-MCI, but there is plenty of availability on aa.com for MAD-MCI, so if I can get the first segment to work the rest of it should. Any ideas?

Even if aa.com could see availability on IB3865, it wouldn't do you any good. The availability for MAD-MCI is not at the MileSAAver level. When redeeming AAdvantage miles, you can only include partner flights on MileSAAver awards.

I didn't know that - thanks for the education.
