Again looking for biz class since I’m 6’7” and that long a flight in coach would probably be the end of me. Lol.
Thanks in advance
AA.com displays award space on both AA and QF, just search there. Keep in mind premium award space between the US-Australia/NZ is some of the hardest in the universe to find, so it's not surprising you're not seeing anything now for a trip in November. There's no magic formula about the best time to search or anything like that, you just need to be persistent and do your research, etc.
In addition to the master thread mentioned above here's another re: awards on QF...
