SYD-LAX

LAX-JFK on QF in business
There is plenty of evidence of QF only allowing people access to QF 107 LAX-JFK who have ALREADY flown a QF flight - flying a QF flight later in the itinerary won't cut it with QF at LAX. Based on this, it looks like the QF code on AA metal which, accrding to the fare rule quoted, will be in Y.

JFK-TLV on LY in business
TLV-LHR on LY in business
LHR-SIN on QF in business
SIN-SYD on QF in business
SYD-LAX on QF in business

Same exact base price.. very good deal IMHO....
I agree.
