Īgain, oddly, the BA seats are not showing up on AA.com and, even more bizare, the BA flights showing on Alaska are not all available on BA.com, but the Aer Lingus flights are. The return flights are not as plentiful, but handily British Airways has some good availability on with reduced award fees of around ~$210 (because of the Dublin departure) all throughout both July and August.
