I concur with you that it is hard to know what will be open this fall. I have some remaining segments on an ex-OSL DONE4. I have to fly it all before Dec 31, 2021 (AA extended it). So far, due to the pandemic restrictions on many fronts, I kept on postponing it (once being cancelled/changed by MH). Before I call the AA RTW desk, I check for availability on EF. EF is my only source.

How is everyone doing? My 2 "in progress" RTW's ex-NRT are extended until 3/31/2022. I'm anxious to travel & have been playing around with routing. I would like to do SYD, but not sure when opening for vaccinated tourists. My westbound I would love to do MIA-DFW-HNL-SYD, my eastbound I would love to do LHR-(DRW)-SYD on QF.

As Milleagemonkey (New oneworld itinerary validator) is dead- no longer updated may be better if this thread is locked closed
No date has been given when AU (or if effect NSW & VIC) will open to general travel. The other states will lag NSW & VIC in opening. My guess is NSW & VIC will open in Jan 2022.
Have not seen any mention of HNL-SYD by QF.
Keep looking on the QF web site. https://www.qantasnewsroom.com.au/media-releases/

And SYD is not the only large international airport in Australia (MEL). But Air Sydney may not be aware of that

Any comment on how AA picked 3/31/2022 as your end date for your itineraries? They told my last date to fly is 3/22/2021. Go figure. I had heard (somewhere on FT) the magic date 3/31/2022.
Meanwhile, I had been notified my itinerary had a cancellation (by 1 or more airlines, I guess). I delay in calling AA to make any new changes, in hope that there is no more changes (wishful thinking!) in near future.
It would be nice if others in the same boat can share their experience here!

When I asked the AA RTW desk what I could do, they suggested I contact Customer Relations. So I contacted Customer Relations via aa.com and told them I was doubtful Asia would be open by then and asked for an extension to the fall of 2022. They replied in a few days and notified me that they had extended the expiry date of my RTW ticket to December 31, 2022. To contact Customer Relations via aa.com follow the Contact American link at the bottom of their web page. Good luck.

I called RTW desk and tried to extend mine until fall 2022 and the CSR said they weren't allowed to go past March 31, 2022. This aa.com web page has a date of March 31, 2022 for Covid related Flight Credit and Travel Vouchers and I believe that is where the date comes from.

I will do according to your suggestion.
Edit to ADD:
Return here to ADD this after went online to aa dot com Contact American. All I saw was a bunch of phone #s by languages.
Q: did you call one of those #s (English). I failed to see ways to do it online to Customer Relations? I didn't have enough coffee this morning!
