My understanding is that QF award tickets are virtually impossible to get with AA miles. Personally, I would take the train to NYC, do a first class CX ticket to Melbourne for 140K miles, and buy a ticket to Hobart for probably a hundred or 150 bucks. I am pretty sure that this route is coach only anyway. </font>
Nope, Like nearly all domestic QF services it is operated as Business and Economy. I believe the awards are hard to get on the Non Stops to Australia but a lot easier on the services via AKL.
