Some options to get to Australia:
* Qantas (available CO, AA, ?)
* Air NZ - via NZ, they've just canned direct - (available UA)
* United
* Air Pacific (available AA and QF)
* Cathay (available AA and QF)
* Air Canada
* Continental via Saipan?

Air NZ is in poor financial shape, but getting better. It is about to get Qantas as a shareholder, so how long it remains in *A remains to be seen.

UA has just pulled out of NZ, perhaps some concerns about how long they'll keep coming to Australia. The advantage of accumulating your miles with UA is the Air NZ option.

If you search the AA forum, there's been a lot of discussion about the difficulty of getting F or J award travel on QF. But - if you're flexible, they are out there (somewhere...)
