AA.com was perfectly happy to sell me a one-way A ticket for 110K miles or U for 80K where only the first 1 hour flight SFO-LAX was in F ... all the other flights via SYD, MEL or BNE were in economy. Ditto for the return trip.

One could spend many hours looking thru every date to find which days had real premium availability, ....
Or.... search LAX-AKL and grab it if you can get it in F or J. Then call AA and ask to add the SFO-LAX segment to the itinerary.
