British Airways has some of the best award availability for any airline. I've seen 8 or 9 seats available per flight on multiple days (even on routes with multiple flights per day). Yeah, there are fees, but that should be known before you get BA miles ... there are no fees for some airlines, while certain routes, the miles are a great way to get into otherwise out-of-budget business & first class seats.
