FYI for the benefit of anyone who tries to Google this in the future: The buddy pass for this route (LAX-SYD) was $900. So, not cheap, but if you want to see Sydney anyway and have the flexibility to await decent up-front availability, seems like a good investment.

Thanks, everyone, for your help!
Glad you had a successful trip and got to sit in Delta One. Worth every penny. Good on ya, mate!
