I am trying to plan my honeymoon to Australia and am trying to use WP FF miles to fly there.

We looked into flying into Sydney via Malaysia Airlines, but that just takes too long, so we were gonna fly Continental into Cairns.

Problem is, for the whole month of August, no availability in business class (or for coach for that matter).

August is generally not the time to travel down under, so I would think that seats would be easier to come by. Has anyone had any luck flying CO into CNS using WP FF miles?

I am trying to fly EWR-IAH-GUM-CNS, as that is the only route I can find that would not require a stayover somewhere along the way.
