I click the link, it takes me to AA (MEXICO SITE), price is quoted in $ and pesos of $619. I go through everything but when it asks for credit card, it wants a Mexican based address. I'm given the option of changing country from MEXICO to US at this point, which I do, and everyting gets wiped out and takes me to AA US Site, where I have to start over and the price is now $672.

Anyway to book this ticket at the lower price? I'm confused and frustrated.
TRIED to upload screenshots of the Google Flights & AA site but I am restricted to do so on FlyerTalk because I haven't posted enough yet.

thanks.
Had this issue before when trying to book tickets via the AA Australian website, these fares can be double the price of booking via the US website! I've had success more than once just entering my Australian address, choosing CA as the state, and adding a zero to our shorter zipcode, this hasn't not worked for me yet...
