WP, but coming up with nothing on extensive (all cabins, nearby cities, flex dates etc.) Qantas searches.

Found award flights on AA website, question is, can I somehow book these through Qantas with Qantas points? By calling maybe? Unfortunately all eggs in one basket with plenty of Qantas points but nothing else.

Relying on some expert advice here as this has been a frustrating process to date!

As an aside, I find it a bit annoying that Qantas gives no indication (as apparently others do) of how many reward seats are left - at some stages found a couple of possible flights, and hours later they were gone!
Try searching using BA or JAL engine

JAL is supposed to be most reliable. BA comes up with phanton availability too at times. I have found Qantas is quite good at finding available seats, so am surprised your experience is otherwise
