My husband and I have about 56,000 Avios together and are looking for the best way to travel from Seattle to Barcelona this October.

Right now, it seems we will need to purchase approximately 10,000 Avios to make it happen, but I'm wondering is there a best time of the year to book reward travel or is it an 'earlier the better' situation?

I'm also curious if available dates tend to change as our first choice dates don't seem to have any rewards flight options available. Should we hold out for these dates to open up or choose the next best option?

Any help is appreciated as I thought this would be less complicated than it is turning out to be!
