Hmm, I saw one in April on qantas but not on aa.com. AA did have availability but on their planes, not the QF direct for SFO-SYD.
Thought about asking the AA agent to find it but decided actually that November would be better. So AA has availability then while Qantas only shows saver awards routing through Hong Kong in November.
I would have liked to have taken QF but I've heard that AA business is better than QF business, while QF F is better than AA F.
Wanted to use my miles before the new award chart takes effect so I went for the SJC-LAX-SYD and MEL-SYD-LAX-SJC award in November. I'm hoping to get in the new lounge at LAX?
And AA business class doesn't get access to QF lounges in SYD?
