Did a quick google search and noted that Qantas open up Award bookings 353 days in advance.
Having made a few award bookings myself I know the routine of waiting for a precious award date to rollover so you can grab it!!
However just noticed something when making a booking last week that may help a few here on AFF (from where I have gained so much)
Let's say you want to make an award booking from Syd to Lax today. If you go on the QF website and make the award booking - it shows dates up to 8th July 2016 in black and dates after greyed out!
However if you click on "flexible with dates" it then shows available flights in J (not Y in this case) up to 14th July (359 days). I have seen some other routes with award bookings up to 360 days.
I had an award booking for the 7th July next year which I had diarised yesterday to book - however last week I went to do a dummy booking just to check the taxes and noted the 7th was already available some 359 days in advance. Interestingly it didn't ticket until yesterday though!
Anyway - this may be commonly known in which case mods please delete or hopefully I have been able to share something of value with the AFF community.
