Do you mean MAD for UX?

Yes, and I just realized it's "UX operated by LO", is this considered a 5th Freedom flight because it's on LO metal?

No, LO is the "driver", they don't sell the flight

I said they were? I only edited the wiki to put in a couple (not all existing) BA Caribbean routes. I also confirmed with BA that codeshare AA flights on Seaborne are not eligible for Avios redemption :( That puts SJU-DOM off the table, and perhaps others. But you can still do MIA-PLS-ANU-SKB-MIA for 25k off peak plus about 75-100 in taxes. Those flights would cost at least 1,200 normally.

Not sure if I should laugh or cry...

Its a valid 5th freedom flight...... If you fly package class
And they don't accept tickets on this route, only way-bills

Ive been searching tons of dates for the Cathay Pacific JFK-YVR using Alaskan but have had no success online finding it. Do i need to call to book it or is it easier to find using AA miles? (prefer to use Alaskan miles tho)

For CX flights, you need to search through BA, then call AS to book.

They used to have another route out of Barcelona that I was very close to booking. Didn't seem to be anything special but was ridiculously cheap
