Hi All,

I realize it's high season in December/Jan in SYD and have been struggling to book a flight for 2 of us in Business or First. Can take 3 weeks off work around that time.

I've got:
DCA/JFK/SYD December 11th on Hold J class
SYD/BNE/JFK December 31st on Hold Economy -- need to get to DC somehow

I'm using AA website. If there are better ways to find more tickets? please help. On the return leg I can go to TYO, HKG, HNL etc and pay for 2 legs if need be but I'm not having any luck.

I tried calling AA but didnt get much help. I dont have any status just miles to burn.

Thanks for your help in advance.
