Is there ever QF61 QF62 Award Availability?

Is there ever QF61 QF62 Award Availability? Seems like those flights never appear in an awards search on Qantas,

I've seen availability on QF62 recently but not QF80 at all...

Did you find it on the Qantas website?

Yes that was a few weeks ago though...

I thought the thread title was QF61/QF62 availability, whichever route they cover, how does QF80 get a mention?

QF80 may offer alternative connections via MEL...

There's plenty of options if you do it as 2 legs. I'm specifically interested in the direct flights. Can't spot anything. =9

Tokyo to BNE

Thanks - not all of us have every flight route in our memory bank...

Sorry!

A bit of trivia - QF61/62 used to be the flights between CNS and SIN via DRW...

Is there ever? I just tried searching in Nov and there was Y and some J availability. This is as a P1.

AU-JP is one of those routes that is getting hard to come by. I am also P1 and have been able to get x2 J rewards over the past few years on QF61/26, 25/62, 25/26, 79/80, 61/80, 79/26 and more recently QF80 xHND but this will not happen now. From memory most seats had to be requested and sent via then SST for an additional request and/or approval.

 

[flyingfan]

I've just checked again as a bronze and there's also Y and fair bit of J availability midweek Aug, Sep, Oct. So don't think it's a status issue.

Given QFi shutdown I'd take things with a grain of salt but maybe OP is looking at peak and/or very close dates?

I was looking for a flight in Feb. Ski season so I guess I'm just too slow. I can see a couple of options late this year as well which answers my original question. I just found it odd that I couldn't spot the flight at all when I searched.
