Yes you can mix carriers with 241 redemptions – as far as I know you need to search on ba.com for availability, in the same way as you’d search for BA flights (the exception is Iberia, where you can find availability on their website a few days before it appears on ba.com, but you need to call BA to book those.)

The issue with Aer Lingus however is that they don’t guarantee to release any seats and they tend to get snapped up quickly when they do appear. If you do find availability, you can call BA to make the amendment, which will cost £35 pp, plus any difference in avios or surcharges. If you’re not seeing anything when you search on your new date though, that means there just aren’t any award seats to be had, on any airline.

There are lots of articles and threads on this site about using the 241 on EI and IB.
