The Wiki at the top of the page this post was (helpfully) moved to indicates "
Conversely, aa.com occasionally may not show available Qantas awards. Use BA's search tool, QF's search tool, or service like ExpertFlyer to see availability. Call in to ticket."
This is exactly what I did, but it was not successful, for some reason. If anyone has any thoughts about what I can say to an AAdvantage agent to miraculously find these (still available) seats, I'd be grateful.
