A bit of background. Getting married next June 14th. Ideally looking to leave LHR the week after flying into SFO and out of LAS some 14-18 days later. Again pretty flexible. I have 200k avios or so to spend and want to fly CW.

My questions are as follows:
Am I deluded in thinking I will get CW seats on these routes in the height of summer or what are my chances?
How would I go about this? Will I have to be up at 3am to get the seats as soon as they are released?
For arguments sake say I get the CW seat flying out sometime between 17-20 June do I have to wait 1-4 July until I can book the return flight?

I do understand the only way to guarantee the seats is to pay the full price. I have these miles and would like to use them. Basically if I can't get the reward seats it will be WT for us, but the cost of these is usually about the same as booking reward seats in CW.

Any help you can give me is greatly appreciated.
