You can search availability before you transfer on BA's website once you register to be in the Executive club.
The Amex/BA promotion is great, but flying AA on this route would require flying through ORD and DFW in each direction, with four of the six segments on regional jets.

For this particular award redemption, I think that Air Tran is the way to go.
