SYD-LAX-LHR with AA, where to book? $2000 AUD return.

[YSSY]

Gotogate.com are showing return flights with American Airlines from Sydney to London via Los Angeles. The prices start at $1500 USD. I actually booked one of the tickets but had to cancel it.
I like this route as it has a full day stopover in LAX each way and a change from going via Asia, but I can't find any of the Australian websites to book it on and be billed in AUD, well not at the same kind of price range anyway. Any ideas or suggestions?

It cannot be booked via AA.com ? I can see it there for AUD1750 return in October but didn't check other dates. (so maybe that was USD1500)

Easily booked via a TA or on AA.com. My wife and 4 kids have this next week with 5 days in Disneyland 1 day in London then 3 in Manchester. We have SWU's on all the seats so hope they all go through. About 26k miles if crediting to AA.

I will try a TA (if anyone has any recommendations to PM me), I couldn't find a way to do bill in AUD on the AA website.

Top right hand side has a little drop down tab to select the country you're in. Worked fine just now.

I got it all sorts of dates including the December holiday period and next year. Appears there are at least 2 different fare OKE0AT1 (up to november A$1800) & OLE0AT1(holiday period $2000). No problems on the AA website or using the ITA Matrix add-on but google didn't work. Can do some interesting stopovers too.

Also, check the days you want to travel, Tuesday is often cheapest.
