Why don't you just take advantage of the current sale on AA frequent-flyer miles, and buy enough miles for a one-way award. Should cost about $600-$800 in Economy class (depending on whether travel is before May 1 or not); or about $1,200 in Business Class. You can call AA to check award availability, and put something on a free, five-day hold before buying any miles.
