If you're not into/don't have the time for doing a lot of searches yourself, you might check out an award booking service called point.me. Among other (more expensive) services, they offer a $5 "daypass" that allows you to use their award search platform for 24 hours, ehich might be useful for you purposes to get an idea of availability and costs to various locations. Good luck!
