You must have not redeemed said award before. It is about THE most difficult award to get with AA miles, just fyi. Unless of course, you are only looking for coach seats. Still, QF is the ONLY OneWorld member that flies the routes between US and Australia and its awards are opened up for redemption for most OW members at 360 days mark but AA members can only book at 330 days mark - a full month after everyone else.
