Thoughts: ambitious, obsessive, destined for failure, esp trying for four award tickets on the same flights during the holiday rush. It doesn't work that way.

Read these pages, learn how it works, dial down those expectations to the range of reason.

FWIW, after tracking QF award availability on KVS for weeks, I was able to get a single F award redemption PDX-LAX-SYD, MEL-LAX-PDX--on the A380 both long legs, no less. And I have no complaints that I am in Y on the domestic legs. Figure AS may come through for me anyway, but no big deal if they don't.
