I will likely have to cancel an upcoming (55 days out) trip to Bali with the wife. It's unfortunate but it is what it is.

That said; will cancelling the award tickets automatically open up the space for someone else to book with Avios?

If so, I figured I may as well try to make some lemonade with said lemons and see if someone has been trying to find the seats I'm currently holding so I can coordinate with them.
