I know when you try to book other ones, the site will refer you to their toll free number, however that doesn't work overseas.

Bottom line...is it possible to use award miles if say a person just wanted to go from place to place all over a specific country or continent? Is there a way to book with the alliance airlines.

I hope I made that clear.

Thank you.

At the booking engine on aa.com, if you click on the "Participating Airlines" link, you can see which carriers are currently bookable on aa.com for award travel.

Did you check to see if AA has a local telephone number within China that you can call to book award travel on non-participating airlines?
