If you want more availability, it's easy: spend a bit more money to become a Gold, and pay double fare for your award flights.
Am Gold anyway but thanks for the tip. Those extra flights are only economy anyway - who does that.
An airline would make more seats available at cheapo cheapo fare as part of their loyalty approach I guess (like other frequent flyer schemes do)
Avios are great if you want to fly to Lagos in economy on a Tuesday.
