I just did this last night, although partners were included. Economy cabin award ticket. Overall itinerary is PHX-LAX-HKG-BKK. AA on PHX-LAX, CX the rest of the way. Doesn't show searching PHX-BKK, but the individual segments were available, and the agent was happy to put it together for me on one award.
