How to search for specific flight numbers?

I am planning a trip from Melbourne to Seattle. I would like as much of it as possible to be on an AA ticket (even if on another airline's plane).

I can buy tickets with Qantas that go MEL-SYD-LAX-SEA and back, with the last LAX-SEA part on Alaska.

I can buy the MEL-SYD-LAX and back legs through the AA website with the MEL->SYD leg treated as a Qantas ticket, but the remaining legs as American.

I can buy the LAX-SEA return trip through American as an American ticket (on a Alasa plane).

I would buy these separately, but I'm worried about having to recheckin and missing connections since they are separate tickets.

I'd like to buy these as a single ticket. When I do the combined search on any online agency I can't find this option, only the same airplanes bought through Qantas. Is there any search engine where I can tell it to look for specific flight numbers?

To be specific, I'm looking at AA7407 (MEL-SYD), AA7365 (SYD-LAX), then any of several LAX-SEA options (most codeshare on AS planes), then AA6964 (SEA-LAX), AA73 (LAX-SYD), then AA7327 (SYD-MEL). You can buy the MEL-SYD-LAX flights and the SYD-LAX-SEA options on several places, but finding them all together seems to not show up. I need the late departure from MEL in order to maximize time with my daughter, and the late departure from SEA in order to maximize time working. It's easy to find a 9:30ish departure from MEL, but that means leaving home when my daughter wakes up rather than playing with her for the morning.

Hi agree with you that buy two or more separates tickets is a strong risk , that I do not really suggest .

Then the result of your query is this :

The number next to the flight number is the departure day ( 1 monday , 2 tuesday etc )
