Back to the subject....
I have used AA several times internationally. Are you going from the US or into the US? Going out you can use the normal listing system and will be taken care of, but talking to the captain always helps.
At an overseas station the ticket agents do not usually understand "jumpseat." You have to throw out "OMC" to get them in the right area of the computer. Be prepared to show your medical and license as well. Taxes can be an issue, but in my experience they seem to be at the discretion of the gate agent. Meaning, you might be able to skip by for free.
Good luck, and let us know how it goes.

Also, you can expense the taxes (assuming this jumpseat is for work, not leisure, obviously)
