$75 fee:

-21+ days prior to departure is based on the departing city time zone, not the booking city time zone.

EDIT: I managed to call in and have them waive the fee when it was within 21 days in departing city time zone but not by booking city time zone

UPDATE: AA has removed all close-in fees

There should be a bunch of options. Off the top of my head you can use AA on BA through london. IB has through Madrid.

Not sure. Try searching on BA or QF anything from a one world partner that you see there should be bookable with AA

American Airlines Adds Five Partner Airlines To Online Award Booking (Cathay, Malaysian, Sri Lanka, LATAM & Qatar) - https://www.doctorofcredit.com/american-airlines-adds-four-partner-airlines-to-online-award-booking-cathay-malaysian-sri-lanka-qatar/

Doesn’t seem to work perfectly yet per comments.

American has added Air Tahiti Nui, Qatar and Sri Lankan to be bookable online.

Are you seeing the space available on RJ for TLV-AMM and on QR for AMM-DOH separately on that day?

Is RJ TLV-AMM-DOH not showing?
Or you're looking RJ TLV-AMM and QR AMM-DOH?

ETA: I see the routing is allowed online even on a date available on both RJ, and RJ and QR.
