Visit Europe question
A trick question?
I am claiming an AA Award from Japan to Europe using JAL to go NRT-AMS-BCN (AMS-BCN on Iberia codeshare). Since this was booked using AA miles will I be able to book a Visit Europe pass or do I need to be on OneWorld metal to be able to take advantage of this ticket?

I think the answer is no. Here is the applicable rule section from the Visit Europe rules.
You could take BA NRT-LHR-AMS but you don't specify how you are getting out of Europe.
Also, discount carrier fares in Europe in many cases are cheaper than the Visit Europe fares.
