Look for 1 seat at a time. You may have to fly different routes/days.
Doing nothing wrong: that's the way it is.
Has been posts of married logic applying to awards. Unsure if that applies for AA awards on QF metal. So try for XXX-SFO-MEL or YYY-LAX-BNE or maybe even something like SFO-SYD-CBR. Most people want LAX-SYD (also has the most aircraft-seats)
It is not easy [I am still looking for Au/NZ USA in late May/ early June 2019]
