In that case, you should be only looking at the QF flight numbers as award searching isn't valid for codeshares. It doesn't matter that you want to use AA miles, it matters which airline operates the flight.
1) If I do an Award/Upgrade search using:
DFW - BNE on 10/8/2014 for AA in Z/U class
I don't see QF8 (or AA7375) listed. Should it appear, or does it not even get listed if it's not available? Other QF flights are listed, just not this one.
Many times airlines won't even list 0 for award inventory for flights they don't want to give away a lot of award inventory on, especially very far in advance. You can however create a Flight Alert for the QF flight from either the Flight Availability results or the Create New Flight Alert page. Be sure to use the proper QF award class codes.
2) If I instead use Flight Availability and do the same search I can find AA 7375 which is what I want. It even lists availability:
J7 D7 I7 Y7 W0 B7 H7 K7 L7 M7 V7 S7 N7 Q7 O0
However when I look on AA.com there is no availability at all. Why would that be?
I'm still a little new to using EF so apologies if this is a basic misunderstanding on my part.
AA.com does show that flight for sale. Flight Availability results are for paid tickets, not award tickets.
