After I called AP and they switched me over to Web Support, they confirmed that I couldn't book online. Switched back to AP and they completed my bookings for me. $0.00 fee, and $0.00 taxes (no AC metal, flight originating from HK - a free port). Nice.

I think I will avoid booking North America rewards with my AP miles, and focus on spending them in Asia.
My son recently booked a flight to Europe and back.Rather than fly AC metal outbound from YYZ,he booked on *A via UA to ORD and then MUC rather than on non-stop AC flight.Saved him hundreds of $'s,added 1 segment.
A sticky thread on how to use *A and avoid all the AE charges might sound prudent.@:-)
