BNE to DFW end of June, too late for award redemption?
I am trying to book an award ticket from Australia back to the US. I already have a Z ticket from DFW to BNE, however I can't find anything open (on tools - EF, ANA & BA) for the way back. Am I too late to snag up a return award booking on OW?
Any suggestions or options would be truly appreciated!
TIA

From SWP (ie Australia) to the USA business award seats will be difficult to find. QF does release a small number of seats, which are selected quickly and the remaining seats can be sold. The result being that additional seats are hardly ever released.
Consider a cheapish seat to SIN, HKG or NRT where there are multiple airlines available to the USA. Yes that is two separate awards if that path is chosen.
Happy wandering

Do not restrict yourself to BNE: look at SYD & MEL
Cash fare is always an option

So a good result ^ On which airline and with what FFP?
Always good when people respond with the outcome to the original request: many do not.

I was able to use the AA locator on the Qantas site and select my seats. I am flying DFW-BNE and SYD-DFW on Qantas metal.
