Using the online booking tool, I am trying to include a flight from one of the USA gateways cities (JFK/DFW/MIA) down to Buenos Aires (EZE) and return. Fully aware of the 24hr transit restriction at the USA exit point or vv, but cannot select any of the AA B777 flights in first class around the Dec2013/Jan2014 period from any of these cities or when trying different days in either direction in other months.

I can however select the Lan Argentina (4M) flights that are only offering a "ghetto bird" version of business class, and the airfare validates OK for booking with 4M - but no availability for the numerous AA flights on B777's from/to the US gateways.

Routing is MEL-DXB-LHR-LAX-MIA-EZE-xJFK-HKG-NRT-HKG-SYD-MEL

Am I missing something here?

Was thinking that it was unlikely to be capacity issues this far out given the numerous flights per day in each direction, and only other thing I can think of is > 6 months out might not have those schedules loaded in the OW booking tool (albeit the flights are showing in the separate OW online schedule/ route tool).

Thanks in advance for any possible suggestions.
