It could be worth talking to BA as they may be sympathetic to a medical condition and assign him what you view to be a suitable seat.

On my printout from ita matrix it lists
DUB -> PHL AA723 - Business (I)
PHL -> MCO AA551 - First (P)
-------------------
MCO -> LAX AA1674 - First (P)
-------------------
LAX -> LHR AA108 - Business (I)
LHR -> DUB AA 6764 - Business (I)
DUB -> PHL AA723 - Business (I)
PHL -> MCO AA551 - First (P)
-------------------
MCO -> LAX AA1674 - First (P)
-------------------
LAX -> LHR AA108 - Business (I)
LHR -> DUB AA 6764 - Business (I)
140+60+210+140+40 = 690 if I'm not wrong. However, if you don't have the BA qualifying segments (4) you won't be silver. But I assume you know that and have them.

Yes, if the flights have different flight numbers.

Good point about the qualifying flights! Hmmm....
So as these are all on AA metal (apart from the flight back to Dublin from LHR) will I need to book some of these on BA flight numbers and some on AA numbers to get to the 4 and to get the additional tier points for AA 'First', and get the phone person at BA to book as such?
I am very green with BAEC and just need to capitalise on this month long trip to the USA for earnings on avios/tier points etc.
It is just a shame that for my most recent BA flights I just put in my AA number and not my BAEC number! Hindsight is a wonderful thing!
Thanks everyone for their help.

You could try to get the LAX-LHR flight on a BA code either flying AA metal or BA metal. That would get you to 2 qualifying flights. Then assuming you are planning to fly all segments and are starting from London, book LHR-DUB-LHR which would provide another 2 qualifying flights.

On your current itinerary you would have 1 qualifying flight (LHR-DUB operated by BA).

EI being oneworld wouldn't mean the flights would count as eligible for BAEC status. Perhaps if/when IAG buys EI they would include EI flights to count as eligible, but I think that is over a year away.

My alternative would be to book the Internal US flight on a BA number rather than AA and drop from 60 to 40 tier points?

No, the EI BRS-DUB flights do not have a BA codeshare.

However, you can only do so if it is part of an itinerary connecting to/from a BA fare. You cannot just book DUB-LON on EI with a BA code, but you could book DUB-LON-NYC on EI/BA all on BA code flights. This will almost certainly be the case if EI joins oneworld as well.
Just as some of your AA flights can be booked with a BA code, if they are purchased separately you cannot book them with a BA code.
Also not all flights are codeshared, oneworld flights do not offer codeshares for all oneworld carriers. Not all AA flights offer a BA codeshare for example.

Didn't think this is worth it's own thread, but can someone assist when a missing avios claim is rejected.
A 4 sector flight to Bali/SIN on QR - mileage / tier points earning.
The outbound flights credit fine, the return doesn't show. So I put in a claim for missing Avios. The SIN-DOH is accepted - BUT - the connecting DOH-LHR is rejected.
I presume it's an error, so go and do a repeat but I cannot as BA.COM says 'Rewards already claimed'.
It's not been claimed, so i've got for 3/4 of my flights, so should be straightforward for them to give me my missing Avios & TP. But cannot do online. What's the best way to get this done?
