I think there is some confusion. 300 miles is if you were changing departure point, i.e. you are changing your ORD-LHR to DFW-LHR. That is not what you wanted to do.

What haroon145 was suggesting was you ask for your ORD-LHR to be changed to ORD-DFW-LHR, with ORD-DFW on AA included. That should have been fine if it was a reasonable option to maintain your F cabin and involved no change in departure point.
