What is the right timing to book an award flight

As I tend to miss out on the Business Class seats when I try to book an award flight, I was planning to book my flights for the Belgian Eastern break already.

The idea is to go to Singapore with a familie of 4 for 2 weeks early April. But when checking on the m&m website, only economy seats are available for the entire month of April. Are the business class seats yet to be released, is it too early to book or what's going on?
The last 3 times I tries to use my miles for an award business class flight, I failed. And I am always quite flexible...

What is the right time to book an award flight? How many months up-front, min. - max.

Also, it seems that just Swiss, Turkish and Lufthansa are regularly offering business class seats, all other airlines are not showing up in the list. Tried the Eurowings website for a flight to BKK, didn't find a seat for an entire year.
