Are the phone agents (either web services or other agents) not able to just convert the price and let you buy it with a USD credit card? An old thread I found suggested they could do it by phone but has this changed?
BTW - if you use a VPN service, you can make AA.com think you are in any country you wish. This is an easy way to price in USD and pay with US credit card.
