So after a huge amount of looking for largely non-available reward flights on AA, I managed to snag some flights a couple of months ago for travel in Sept/Oct
SYD - SIN QF Y
SIN - CDG (via HEL) AY J
FCO - DOH QR J (suites)
DOH - SYD QR F
Basically it took me ages to find anything coming back and when QR availability came on board I pretty much jumped on it). In fact it disappeared so quickly that even though I booked my wife back J all the way a week ahead of me, by the time I went to book only F was available (not that that is a great hardship). But by the time I booked the return leg all good flights over had also disappeared (mainly on JAL).
Anyway I booked and thought I'd keep a lookout for better flights and waitlist for a few SQ options, and if worse came to worse for the SYD-SIM leg (which is daytime incidentally) I can get extra legroom seats and use a couple of my lounge passes which are about to expire. Well availability has not got any better (in fact much worse), none of the SQ waitlists have come through.
So, plan B, get the extra legroom seats and like Qantas passes. First part works fine but can't link the Qantas passes because of course my (and my wife) have their AA numbers against them. Any way to get around this?
