Best strategy for getting Family of 4 Saver Awards : 2018

Initial plan.. with some flexibility.. for trip to Egypt, Jordan, Israel

Ballpark, 15 days.. weekend take off and return, probably June 2, 2018- June 16.
Need to take weekend as can't get more than 2 weeks off, can't go earlier because of school, and don't want to push later as starting to get really hot..

Current flights ballpark plan..
DEN- LXR (Luxor)
LXR - Amman (With long layover in Cairo)
Amman - Denver.
85k points each person

So in looking approx 330 days out.. I could reverse trip, but on weekends it looks like DEN -> EGYPT has more availability than Jordan->DEN,

I don't believe there is any way to hold the outbound flights, when seats are released (approx July 4, 2017), so I think I have to wait til approx 330 days from Return...

So my plan is approx July 18th 2017, try to book all flights...

(I know it's not exactly 330 days, but easier to use that for explanation)

Any hints appreciated..
