Did you find SAAver availability on AA metal nonstops at aa.com? Routings via DFW on AA would cost the same number of AA miles, but a lot more BA Avios.
Also, aa.com will display award availability on HA, which is an AA partner, but which is not a BA partner.
Ah ok, that was it. I searched AA website for AA metal nonstops and found some at 17.5k one way from LAX to HNL. Thanks! Found the corresponding flight on BA's website for 12.5k one way

Good luck.
Nice, is it easier to search BR site, I always read to search on AA and then book with BR, not sure why though?

Have fun!
Ah gotcha, I think we flew out of SAN 3 years ago on AS (booked with points through AA) in May. Is there a better way to search for AS reward flights that I can pay for with AA points? When I search AA's website and include other carriers it also shows HA.
You're right though, HA seems to have awesome availability. I think I should be in pretty good shape b/c I can transfer amex to BR (and pay 12.5k per one way ticket) and/or use AA points to book AA, AS or HA at 17.5k per one way ticket. Does that sound right?
