Anyone experienced if space on the non stop Qantas ever opens up to asia miles? Would gladly pay the fee to recover the miles and switch...

that is about one of the rarest award flights you can ever find. Pre-covid finding Qantas J was difficult. Post-covid? Not a chance. Outside of Australia's reopening and Qantas did that major release on a lot of flights, I also haven't seen any Qantas J release flights at all on partner airlines

I did stumble on the Qantas website and I did see a few saver level availabilities on Qantas (not available via partners) but it was still very far and few, and it was not on LAX-SYD/MEL. It was HKG-SYD and YVR-SYD
