As above...US is merging with American Airlines so miles in this program will soon be used on OneWorld instead of Star Alliance. Availability might be harder to come by.

With Star Alliance the airline which seems to offer the most award seats between Australia and Europe is Thai Airways - is there an equivalent generous airline in Oneworld?

Historically, no. However Malaysian has just joined & is currently showing great availability - hopefully that continues. Qatar Airways is joining too.

Ok, because I'm an idiot and don't travel all that often, can someone answer a couple of stupid questions for me?
I want to go to Europe in July and have found a great rate on Expedia with Finnair. Can I book my flights myself via Expedia and use my USAir miles to upgrade to business or do I have to book business with USAir via their website?

If you have US miles you'd have to book.business on Star Alliance carriers with them over the phone...not the website.

Finnair is currently in OneWorld and US in Star...that will still be true in July - therefore no upgrade. Besides, only very expensive economy fare classes are upgradeable with miles anyway.
