Just a note "O" in UA terms is now premium economy inventory, so best not to use that term in context of UA programs

SQ rarely release any long-hual FIrst Class award inventory to its *A partners -- so would either need to have KrisFlyer miles or some access thru AS ( at least in the past)

Using either SQ or TG will involve very indirect routing. adding many hours. ANA is bit better but still nearly 50% more distance from DEN first than with USA-OZ non-stops. 3-class F is nice but that will turn a long journey (DEN-SYD) into a marathon.
