I think that this point needs to be emphasized. If one is looking to redeem miles for saver awards, booking as far in advance as possible is key. I just missed out by a couple of days (literally) on securing saver award travel LAX-LHR last month for June travel ... and I was booking that travel pretty late in the game. With this dynamic award pricing, I suspect that this is going to be an even more important part of the strategy in the future.
