Must be doing something wrong. A cursory search for 2 business award seats of one week in August (one way NYC-PAR between 8/3 and 8/9):
  • 8/5 AA LGA-PHL-CDG
  • 8/6 AB JFK-TXL-ORY or AA LGA-PHL-CDG
  • 8/7 AA JFK-TXL-ORY

Note - I excluded all itineraries with BA flights, so I may have missed itineraries that are AA to London then BA to Paris. Still, solid availability for summer 2 months out.

I did the same search for 2 weeks later to ensure it wasn't a fluke (searching 8/17-8/23):
  • 8/19 AY JFK-HEL-CDG
  • 8/20 AY JFK-HEL-CDG
