For a simple 3 or 4 leg transpacific itinerary, would you say AA awards are viable, by comparison to mileage based?
For a simple 3 or 4 leg transpacific itinerary award space is nominally the same for all OneWorld airline ffp',s but there can be differences. There are only a few flights so choice is very limited.
BA awards are segement based (others will correct I am incorrect)
Have a look here. But does not have all ffp's and may not be up to date

It is very hard to estimate/calulate award surcharges. Real taxes are less of a problem and the same for all airlines
