Tools to check award availability?

I am trying to construct a OW award itinerary with AA miles. One of the segments will be on RJ. However, as is being discussed at AA forum, AA's system has some glitch about RJ and shows "no availability" when there is and others can see/book.

Hence my question: Are there other tools available? As a paying member I had great hopes from EF, but was disappointed to learn that EF doesn't follow RJ award inventory. People report using BA.com, but apparently you need to have BA miles which I don't. RJ's own agents, once they figured out I wasn't buying from them, were less than helpful.

All help appreciated. If I can determine availability it would strengthen my hand with AA agents. BTW the flight is

DEL to IST (one way) on RJ
Dec 29, +/- 3 days
2 seats, Business Class preferred, Economy tolerated.

Thanks for any info or help!
