[Award Alert] American Airlines Business Suites From the U.S. to Australia From 85K Miles

It’s not often we see business class availability to Australia. However, there is availability right now — in business class — on flights between Dallas and Brisbane on Australia’s eastern coast. Even better, you’ll be flying in American Airlines’ newest business class.

Here’s what you need to know about booking this business class deal.

Award Deal — Details

We’re seeing business class availability on flights operated by American Airlines to Australia from a single U.S. city for several months. These flights are operated by planes with the new business suites (though be aware aircraft swaps can and do happen for logistical needs).

There’s availability for up to 4 passengers per route, and these flights can be booked from just 85,000 miles per person one-way. These are nonstop flights, though those departing from other cities should be able to find these flights and pair them with a connection on a domestic AA flight.

• Class: Business
• Route: Dallas Fort Worth (DFW) to Brisbane, Australia (BNE)
• Cost: From 85,000 AAdvantage miles plus $28.20 in taxes and fees
• Travel dates: November 2025 to March 2026
• Award seats: Up to 4 passengers per route

To compare multiple dates at once, you can use a tool like Seats.aero to help you find award space.

Once you’ve found a flight that works for you, head to AA’s website to book. You’ll find availability for 85,000 miles per person and $28 in taxes and fees.

If you don’t have AA miles, you can use Atmos Rewards points to book these flights for a few dollars more in taxes and fees.

How To Book

Some dates are bookable for up to 4 passengers per route, which is quite rare to find. However, you may encounter dates with only 1 seat remaining, so flexibility can be helpful if you need seats for multiple passengers.

These seats are available through the American Airlines AAdvantage program and Alaska’s Atmos Rewards program. Therefore, you’ll need miles from either program. Luckily, there are plenty of ways to earn American AAdvantage miles and Alaska Airlines Atmos Rewards points.

American Airlines has co-branded credit cards available through Citi and Barclays, and you can transfer Citi ThankYou Points to AA at a 1:1 ratio if you have an eligible Citi credit card. Additionally, you can earn Marriott Bonvoy points and transfer those to American Airlines at a rate of 3:1. You also can earn AA miles by dining out, shopping online, and other non-travel activities.

If you prefer to book with Atmos Rewards points, there are several ways to earn Alaska Airlines Atmos Rewards points, including spending on the Atmos™ Rewards Ascent Visa Signature^® card or transferring points from Marriott Bonvoy and Bilt Rewards. You can also shop online via the Mileage Plan Shopping portal, have a meal with Mileage Plan Dining, link your Lyft account, credit a hotel stay, utilize rental car partners, or even buy Mileage Plan miles.

Final Thoughts

Planning a trip to Australia in style just got easier, thanks to award availability in the newest American Airlines business class. Flights are available nonstop from Dallas to Brisbane between November and March, including multiple seats on several dates.
