Best alternative to QF12 for JFK-SYD?
I'm need to book JFK-SYD. QF12 isn't flying that day from JFK to LAX. I called Qantas and they confirmed (even though it is listed for that day on their online timetable, sigh).
Am I better off on a different flight from JFK to LAX and then connecting with QF12 for LAX-SYD or should I go through DFW?

There are more than a few options on AA to LAX. Without knowing status or class of travel it's difficult to provide a useful answer other than generalization.

DFW has some advantages such as leaving from LGA instead of JFK (though that may be a disadvantage this year given the state of LGA). Generally costs more for that routing as well, so if you can get same price then well worth it. DFW-SYD is a more comfortable flight.
