When I search for paid tickets on AA's site it errors out and doesn't show anything, but searching on the CX site shows all the options for paid tickets. When I called AA, they confirmed they only mileage reward options they see for this route was in Main Cabin, the same as I saw, but the AA phone agent was able to see all the paid ticket options for all cabins in their system even though it errored out for me on AA site, so something is wrong with AA's site for revenue tickets for CX. It appears you have to call AA, or use CX's site and just add your AA FF# to the reservation. BTW, the ticket prices were much lower thru CX's site then what AA quoted me on the phone, so going thru CX's site seems to be the best way to go for me in this situation.
Thank you for the clarification- very helpful.
It seems like there is definitely an upcharge to book through AA site for partner tickets (paid), vs. booking direct with the partner.
