AA.com lets me go through the motions, but will not let me purchase the itinerary (keeps saying price has changed). This seems to only happen when flying between city pairs that offer a more logical connection (for the above example, either flying direct or connecting in BOS/ORD).

I have tried other websites (such as expedia), but have not been able to book the same routings for the the same price that Orbitz allows me to. Anyone else find a website that allows you to do this?
The inability to book itins with diff airlines is a valid loss.
