Can you find this award on BA site using Avios?
Thanks
No because you're about 7 months too late in securing Avios availability for the extremely narrow date and route range that you've selected. You're probably aware that you've picked the Christmas/New year travel dates that are extremely popular and in demand. Those dates will be long gone from an Avios perspective. You might get lucky for those dates with a seat here or there but 3 seats on your chosen dates is unrealistic quite frankly. You might still find cash tickets however at 4 months notice.
I would suggest that if this has to be Avios availability that you start thinking about this trip for 2025/6 and book 355 days out when availability opens up. Alternatively, think about dates outside of school and religious holidays if you can be flexible on travel dates.
The idea here is that you check your own availability and self help. People generally aren't going to do all the legwork for you. This isn't a travel agency.... just a group of people with a common interest in getting the most of their Avios.
