The OP has also posted essentially the same complaint on the QR booking thread.
The thing that newbies don't understand is that miles are not the same as cash. Awards may be available on some routes but impossible to get on others. Just because you don't get what you want doesn't mean miles are impossible to redeem, and if you get what you want, it doesn't mean miles are easy to redeem. It's all a game of chance. If you don't win the lottery, that doesn't mean you should complain on FT. People here do a lot of research and spend lots of time learning the tricks to booking awards.
