I scored 2 Business Class tickets for our trip Down Under in December on United but now I need to book flights within Australia.

I was going to use AA miles for Qantas flights until I saw the Amex transfer bonus offer for Avios points this evening.

However, when I went on BA website and tried to calculate the points needed, the airport we are flying to from SYD came back as " We do not fly there". Even though I know Qantas flies there. Would calling them help?

Also, our ultimate destination is PNG. Air Niugini code shares with Qantas, does anybody know if I can use AA miles to get to POM?
