I never saw LAN award seats on AA.com. I only saw them on BA.com. Fortunately I have BA points. I was able to book the LAN flight in biz for 60K points + $5.60.

You will not see LAN award flights on aa.com, as aa.com does not support award booking on LAN (or CX, JL, QR, EY, 9W, etc.) If you found LAN award space on ba.com, then you should have been able to book it with AA miles by calling AA (assuming no IT issues).
