I recently contacted Qantas for an award ticket using my AS miles. I was informed that the only way I could get an award ticket on an AKL - SYD route was if I was flying to AKL on an award ticket. On AS site there is no mention of this and it clearly states Australia/New Zealand 10,000 miles. The whole reason I joined the AS program was to use my miles towards this award. I was wondering if any veteran FTers could help me with this problem?</font>
Unfortunately what you've been told is exactly right. You will notice that there is a * and ** after these 2 awards and if you read below the award this is what it says:
* One inter-Australian city add-on in coach, per person.
** One inter-Australian city add-on in business class, per person.
I agree with you it is not very clear but this is and add-on award meaning that you can add it to the award for round trip from the US.
