If you don't want to pay BA surcharges (there's a thread), be sure to know the AA-network. The only AA aircraft with long-haul F are 77W and unrefurbed 777. You may simplify the problem by keeping your search to Business, where travel on A330s, 767s, and 787s can be added to the mix. (Skip the 757s for long-haul .)
Sticking to Business also adds Finnair and Air Berlin. Business and calling reservations gets Iberia award inventory.
If BA Avios are being redeemed, sticking to AA flights will not eliminate the problem: BAEC redemptions on AA, AY, BA, or IB TATL flights will all have hefty cash surcharges. AB TATL flights will have none, but LAX-DUS in J on AB (assuming one can even find award-seat availability) will cost 90K Avios
one way.
