LHR-SYD AA miles, 2-3 F class

[travellinmumberry]

Can anyone see any availability between July 29-Aug 7 for first class one way LHR to SYD? (Aadvantage miles redemption).
For ageing in laws who are immigrating and my husband will fly back with them.
2 award flights would work as he can pay to travel on the same flight.
I know its a long shot at this short notice but if anyone can see anything that would be great....
It will need to be a direct itinerary as well due to age and mobility it is not feasible to do multiple connections.

There's 2/3 seats available on BA / JL, with a day time stop in Tokyo. Requires an airport change in Tokyo however so that may make it impractical.

LHR-HND - 30/7 11:45 arriving HND at 07:15 31/7 (3 seats available)
NRT-SYD 31/7 19:25 arriving SYD at 06:10 1/8 (2 seats available)

Thank you for looking greenfish, and yes, I think the airport change will make this itinerary too challenging unfortunately.

If you're still looking, the only other option I could find was:

4 August BA73 LHR-AUH 0935-1950 85k miles + US$944.20 taxes and fees for 2 business class seats
5 August EY450 AUH-SYD 1040-0640 200k miles + US$105.60 taxes and fees for 2 first class seats

Needs an overnight in AUH and the LHR-AUH is only in business class, unfortunately. EY has no first/business availability out of LHR that week, and the nearest ports with availability would be CDG or MAN. EY22 departing MAN on 4 August would connect well with EY450 but does not have first class on the route.
