Hi All. So I'm looking to use a combo of award programs to book a trip in J from Perth to Tokyo for 7 or 8 nights first week in December.
I've got Asia Miles converted from Amex awards and AAdvantage points based on their website (that I've used heaps of times, most recently about 2 years ago though) showing a lot of availability.
I purchased the AAdvantage miles and went into their award bookings site. Found 2 J tickets for hubby and myself PER-SYD-HND Monday Dec 3, QF 580 (departing 11:30am) connecting to QF 25 departing 9:25pm. Get all the way through the booking and it is fine until I have an Australia billing address and then it won't allow me to book and I have to move to the Australian site. Australian site shown no availability. So I call the Australian AAdvantage call centre and the person says there is no availability at all for a week either way, nor for the return trip.
Is it that there is no availability for Australian customers only, maybe? What am I missing here? Do you think if I call the USA AAdvantage number I'll get a different outcome? I can't think of another explanation for this massive discrepancy. I don't want to book with my Asia Miles until I know what's happening with this.
Help!!
