Points plus pay - then credit to AA?
I am planning a flight LAX-SYD sometime in November - I'd like to book this using points plus pay, but, with the miles flown credited to AAdvantage. I know I'd have be logged into my qantas frequent flyer account to book the flight, but am wondering if it is possible to change to my AAdvantage number later?
(I need the Aadvantage points to maintain gold status, and booking an AA flight is pretty expensive)

That can be done for QF P&P segments as long as the fare bucket would earn with AAdvantage.
Changing to the AA number can be done by calling Qantas and having them remove it or sometime by using the Finnair website to access your booking.

Not sure about the booking class otherwise, and have never attempted what you're trying to do. From memory a points plus pay at the minimum level (i.e. from award inventory), is booked in the respective award bucket (X for Eco, U for Biz, P for First).
As for changing the FF number post ticketing, here's a nifty trick that allows me to change FF# on OW bookings: access the booking from rj.com. There you can change it to another OW airline, or in the case of a non-listed QF partner (like EK for example), reset it there so that you could set it again on Qantas.com
