Given that FB awards are bookable approx 360 days in advance, waiting til only 30+ days out to book is imposing a severe constraint on one's self.

However, if you can be flexible (which is always a good prerequisite for getting the most bang for your miles), there are options available, even within that 30 day window, for good value.
