I have found LA/LP D-availability to be actually rather good.
Well that's good news, although I found a couple of references to it on FT. One is here:

I also read a post about someone having to fly from AKL to South America via North America because availability was so difficult to get on the LA AKL/SCL route. I'll try to find and post the link!

Note that if you decide to re route, no QantasLink flights offer Business Class. While the BAe146 retains the J cabin, it is sold as all economy.
Hope that helps somewhat
Yes, I'd noticed - at least it's allowed as part of a xONEx itinerary! And good news that QantasLink is great - thanks. Presumably they're the same thing as 'National Jet Systems' - the airline shown in the oneworld timetable application?
