The price of award travel on AA can be cheaper than on QF; e.g. 1st Class Australia-Europe return on QF using AA miles is 160k miles whereas it is 270k miles using QF miles. J is 130k vs 220k. </font>
In theory that is correct. However: AA's rules say that you must fly one of the 'Direct' flights between the two, since the award routing rules do not permit transit in Asia. Otherwise it's a 230k Oneworld award. See here for the gory details.

Alex
