QA and BF Ghost availabilty on AA website

[Digger11]

Been looking for award tickets for LHR -MEL on AA's site and it is coming up with plenty of First and economy fares for Qantas. Unfortunately when I click on the fare it says not available.
These fares are not on the Qantas site, so I expect there is something wrong with the AA reward search engine ? Or maybe I am just not using it correctly.

It is a known issue - best to check with Expert Flyer fir those P seats on QF rather than using AA.com.

QA and BF are not airlines that would ever display on AA.

The flights were definitely there, both First and Y. Could see valid flight numbers and times etc. just couldn't book them, got an error message when I clicked on them.

Danger was being a little cheeky. The airlines you see there are QF and BA, not QA and BF.

any tips for the other way around? Qantas has confirmed a seat is available on a flight i'd like to book but AA is not seeing anything - have tried USA & AUS call centres. interestingly - there's no P availability on expertflyer, but it is F9 A9

Yes Qantas reserve seats for their own members that aren't available to partners. You will need QFF points
