In fairness, American Airlines didn't tell me that there was a point of origin restriction that was an inference that I drew from other posts that I believe were within this thread or other posts on the oneworld flyer, talk page. Either way, there were several instances where I was seeing inventory on expert flyer that American Airlines around the world desk told me they could not see.
