I've purchased all of my AA tickets through AA.com - when their site won't pull up the itinerary / segments I want I just call AA and have the EXP desk set it up and put it on hold for me. No issues there, but the looping repricing thing is annoying.
Are there no other OTAs that can do multicity like Orbitz?

Apparently, AA and Orbitz settled their dispute and AA fares are once again available:

Glad this is fixed, got really tired of the looping repricing when I first experienced it, followed FT advice to book on Orbitz, and have done so happily every time it's happened since. Orbitz is fast to issue tix, you get your AA PNR, and can do seat selection at booking.

Am I looking at fares the wrong way? I fly in premium cabins almost exclusively and entertained the idea of swathing from UA to AA starting 2015. However, on almost EVERY fare I look at in F or J, AA/One world is higher then UA/*A. Looking at NYC-DXB, NYC-HNL, NYC-BKK, NYC-TLV, NYC-HKG, etc, etc. Booking thru the AA site VS the UA site, AA is more expensive on almost EVERY route.
