Is this typical or odd? When I call AAdvantage will it be similar?
If you see partner space on BA, most of the time you can book this on AA. However many phone AAgents are just bad at partner searches, if an AA agent tells you they dont see it try HUCA at least 3 or 4 times.

That said...the BA site is bad at showing connections, you need to search segment by segment, i.e. SAN-NRT then NRT-SIN, not SAN-SIN.

Looking at your results above, there is really only 1 business seat on the SAN-NRT segment. There is most likely 3 open on the NRT-SIN segment, but the BA site gets confused and displays 3 for the whole itinerary.
