Many other times AA.com can't do this. I'm not sure the rhyme or reason behind which trips it can change and which it can't, but in my experience international trips and/or trips with segments on partner carriers or codeshares can't be changed online.
If the opportunity to make changes isn’t presented, there’s really no option to calling.
