Expert Flyer Award availability & explanations

[PaulybGC]

Im currently searching award availability in J from Bris, Syd or Mel to anywhere on the West Coast of the US ( ultimate destination is Canada) No real luck on the Qantas site & looking out to March April & even May 2023.
I thought id give EF a go and can see possible availability but not sure if what im seeing is true availabity or im reading it wrong as the same info does not show on the Qantas site.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Does what i see above indicate award seats available on the relevant flights or am i getting confused

Many Thanks

This.

What you’re seeing in this example is 4 seats available just on the MEL-SYD sector but no seats on the SYD-LAX sector.

Not necessarily. Since the search was for QF you would only see the inventory on the QF operated segments. To see the inventory on the AA segment do an AA award search for SYD-LAX.

Hi, can someone please clarify what I'm currently seeing on ExpertFlyer. I'm new to it so just having a play around. The screenshot below is a domestic 717 flight which only has 12 business class seats. That being the case, why is it showing 6 available in each of J, C and D, all of which are business fares? That adds up to 18!

The numbers aren't coughulative and reflect the different fare classes so J ,C D, I are all business tickets but one is saver, the other is sale etc.
