A year ago I knew that if I found a good price via searching multi-city I could find a site (vayama.com, cheapair.com, justfly.com) that could actually force it through and ticket. Now I'm having a very, very hard to find a site that can actually ticket a res at the price shown.

AA's site is abysmal with this stuff. At least if you do a multi-city search with GF and see a fare for Delta or United, those re-direct properly and you can actually complete the purchase on those airlines' sites. AA is a whole separate beast...
Yeah to build off this, even if you multi-city search it on AA, AA will spit back the lower prices (often like 5-10 similar routings/times), and they all will error out. It's completely broken.
