Lifemiles may block the available flights but doesn't have control over inventory of the available flights.
Regardless, not clear on the actual question. Availability on the desired dates and times and class of service but what is the issue? What exactly are you waiting for?
I’m based out of Valencia, Spain and the only flight out of Madrid at present is at 6am, which would require a hotel stay the night before in Madrid - looking to avoid that if possible as it adds an extra expense. No options to fly out of Valencia, unfortunately. There are flights out of Madrid at noon through most of Feb/March, so ideally I’m hoping that will pop up. I guess my question ultimately is - is there a sweet spot for how far out to book to maximize availability? Or does such a thing just not exist...
