Only problem is having found the routing on matrix, copied it into Book with Matrix, worked though the AA.com booking pages (where the fare quote is in Dollars), the payment page kicks me out when I say I have a UK credit card. What's the trick to pay for this?

Use the ITA Powertools thingy (referenced elsewhere in this thread) - you then have a choice of going the European AA site and it is OK with European issued credit cards. I found the price slightly cheaper due to exchange rates too.
