My personal experience (YMMV) is that I look for award seats for a while, then if I can't find what I want, I just give up and buy a seat that best suits my needs.My schedule is rather inflexible these days.
In the past year or so I have not been able to find seats that meet my needs. I'm getting pretty disgusted with it. I have given away miles (give = no quid pro pro) to a friend who has a more flexible schedule than I do.
