There is one specific flight I was considering, which may or may not happen based on a few factors - but yes, I tend to agree, cash often is best (I did use a couple of awards for UK - Italy a few years ago, because for whatever reason, the prices were incredibly high (IIRC it may have been around Easter to Rome).
