I prefer to use QF as you can see a month at a time. You can also spot patterns. While searching you may also find JL, QF, EK and the odd AA award availability too. I have been 100% in booking CX awards when I call AS and feed them the flight numbers I found in my searches on QF. If I find a JL, QF, AA or EK award that is a valid routing for AS miles, I always see the availability for online booking through AS. I always look first segment by segment. If to no avail, I will start looking for married segments. I haven't booked a CX award with a married segment yet so I am not sure if AS can manually "divorce" a segment to use in conjunction with a TPAC.
