"as a reference, on a business class one way ticket to NY, UA charges 67,500, SQ charges 92,750 and QF charges 128,000."
But AA charges only 62,500 miles for a one-way Business Class award on QF from Australia to the U.S. And there are no fuel surcharges when redeeming AA miles for award travel on QF.
True, but AA also doesn't allow a routing via Asia, so you have to find the USA-OZ flight in BOTH directions, which can be hard without being super flexible on dates.
