Good point!
NRT-SFO and NRT-LAX are both available as standalone redemptions on AA!
However, earlier this year I found NRT-DFW in JL F that must be married with an AA domestic segment, for example NRT-DFW-MIA or NRT-DFW-CLT-MIA. I cannot reproduce these results today.
Update:
Aha, now I can also find these standalone segments on AS sites!
Next time I must take some screenshots.
