Reward Seat Availability - BNE/SYD-LAX

[NoName]

General question about the availability of reward seats to LAX. Basically I'm interested in how popular they are in these routes. Approximately how long before departure are they sold out on average? If I want to travel in late April next year (probable but not certain) when would you recommend making the booking by? Travel class is not really an important factor.

Thanks for for any help people can offer.
Cheers

I had to book as soon as they opened, which was 11.5 months in advance I think. I booked business and found they went quickly, for the cheaper Reward seats.

If you want internal travel in the US, good luck. I have had no luck booking that on Reward seats 10 months out.

Doesn't your Velocity status come into play here .........?

EG - If Plat some return reward booking guaranteed if you book min 6 months out ?

I am gold, not sure about Plat. I have learned to plan well in advance!

If i was to book now and had to cancel am I right that the only cost will be a 7.5k points fee? Is this for the whole itinerary of for each flight segment?
