A family member just went looking at using AA Miles for Qantas business class domestic flighs and saw nothing for him out 9 months.
Is this an unpublished “enhancement” ?
is it because he is not P1 nor WP status?
 
What route? Might be that he is putting like 3 adults and no avail for more than one.
I just checked and able to see Perth to SYD for most of the days in sept.

I have just checked my account. BNE-SYD for 2 in J available every day. BNE-PER available most days . BNE- MEL or ADL unavailable for 2 every day but for 1 available most days.
Very unusual.
 
I have seen some limited availability of QF domestic awards available to my AAdvantage account, but certainly a LOT less availability than I see with my QFF Gold membership using QFF points for classic awards. Not sure if AAdvantage members see the same as non-status QFF, but certainly less than Gold+ status QFF members.
 
AA are also blocking BA flights. Syd to Sin available in F for QF Bronze on several dates, none of which you can see on AA.

Doesn’t make a lot of sense unless they’re planning on doing a UA?
