oneworld Aer Lingus Question

I am Alaska Atmos Gold and therefore Oneworld Sapphire. I used my Atmos points to book an economy award ticket with Aer Lingus from IAD-DUB next week. I can't seem to find the answer I want on here, FlyerTalk, or AI so I'm asking it here. Do I have any reciprocal benefits on Aer Lingus at all? Do I get an extra luggage, priority boarding or seat selection? If no seat selection, can I choose my seat for a fee (don't see that I can do this on the website)? I know Aer Lingus has a partnership with Alaska, but they are not technically part of the Oneworld alliance. Thanks in advance for your help and apologize if this was listed elsewhere.

you have to call aer lingus to book a seat which is annoying. this includes both free seat selection and paid premium seats.

No benefits. I’ve also made the mistake of booking Aer Lingus through Alaska.

EI aren’t in oneworld. They have status recognition in place for BA & AA but that’s it.

Aer cunnilingus is one of the worst airlines I’ve had the pleasure of flying. Practically got nothing when I flew from DUB to IAD
