Looking to go SFO to Kenya on AA, seeing 40k one way online but can't book. I see Etihad and Qatar online - but not able to book. Do I need to call in?

I’d heartily recommend reading the Wikipost at the top of the page of https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/amer...ssistance.html for some condensed useful, shared information and experience. Also

Airlines that can be booked for award travel on aa.com

oneworld alliance airline partners

AA - American Airlines
BA - British Airways (awards incur significant YQ surcharge)
AY - Finnair
IB - Iberia
QF - Qantas
QR - Qatar Airways
RJ - Royal Jordanian Airlines
S7 - S7 Airlines
UL - Sri Lankan Airlines

other airline partners

AS - Alaska Airlines
9K - Cape Air (but only certain cities)
TN - Air Tahiti Nui
EY - Etihad
HA - Hawaiian Airlines

All others must be requested by telephone

Of course, there’s BA to NBO, but that requires payment of their ridiculous “carrier imposed surcharge”.

Good luck. And after 1/1/2020, AT / Royal Air Maroc via CMN may be possible as well.
