Recently set up res on CO.
1) Requires call in to their Qantas desk. Use [Contact Us][One Pass][Qantas] link
2) Pass on First Class - Business Class seats are newer - Use upper deck for quiet area.
3) For 2 - 210K miles will be fine
4) LAX has direct QF flights to SYD, Brisbane, AUK, and Melborne, so options will be good.
5) Pass on coach - too long a flight - great value for miles redeemed for Business class
6) CO Qantas desk - Sheri is the best - funny and very resourceful with options.
7) Booking is 330 days out - So, mid April, 2007, would be available.
8) Call when desk opens - 7:00 Central - Closed on weekends so Monday would provide 3 days of new res availability.
9) Enjoy!
