Edited to add this:
Some of these fares ARE AA-filed (like LPB and VVI), so those you can obviously book anywhere you would like including AA.com. The fares I referenced above for Argentina require booking via Orbitz or Expedia to get the routing options via JFK or other cities, as they are JJ/LA-filed and LAN and TAM websites do not show widespread routing options. I also saw some very limited options for LAN-coded but AA-operated EZE-DFW-LAX, which is the new AA 787 route. It was substantially more expensive (about an extra $800), but if that's worth it for you to get the AA 787 it's available. You will have hunt for it though.
AA has a ticketing interline agreement with LA so it should be (technically) possible for AA to ticket them. Probably only by phone though.
