Award redemption to north america in Dec this year

[Dave G]

Hey All - trying to get 2 people to North America from Perth somewhere around 20/21/22 Dec.
Looks like award availability ex Aus has completely dried up..... Been watching going through NAN (Via Syd), SIN, KUL, HKG - you name it.
Connections look fine - LAX, SFO, DFW, SEA or YVR - but stuffed if I can see a way out of Aus at the moment.

Ive been watching the 'new normal' release dates - and was tracking nicely - but pretty much the last week has all dried up

Anyone else noticing ?

What FF scheme(s) are you checking against?

Are you open to a paid flight to a staging point in Asia and then looking for awards from there?

For example: Paid flight from PER to HKG, and then check award availability HKG <> North America

Plenty of availability in December with Velocity from the east coast to LAX, SFO, JFK and YVR depending on airline. Multiple seats too. Looks like Velocity have only released seats until the 19th at this stage so a few more days and the 20-22nd should open up.
