Also note that CX availability can't be searched through the AS website. You'll have to use BA or QF award search to find CX availability, then call in to book CX awards. It's usually pretty painless, especially if you feed the agent the specific flight numbers (although there are reports that AS agents may not see the same number of awards as listed on BA, QF).
