Is this just for connecting, international and/or mixed itins with OW partners? Or for domestic/nonstops too?

Thanks in advance

I should have clarified this. I meant international trips. I think the issue is that AA.com does not do a good job searching for partner flights and oneworld partners seems to under-cut each other on pricing.

For example, I booked SMF->LHR for $700 all on AA metal. The same flights on AA.com cost $1100. Why? It is an all metal AA flight, but the inbound legs on my booking are ticketed as BA.
