I posted on this forum as I know that there are people with a ton more experience that could maybe point me in a direction I didn't consider. Things like: "I've been successful several times getting 3 biz award tickets on X airline between Y airport and Z airport" or "check out LAX to TPE as there are tons of direct flights and it's easier to get award availability" or "don't even bother with ANA, you'll never find more than 1 biz class award ticket".
As indicated above, any such anecdotal information is useless. What people have found last year will not tell you what patterns will be for summer 2026 travel. Things change so frequently.
If you have questions about particular award programs and availability, I encourage you to read the various threads in fora across this website. There's too much for people to compend a digest for you given your vague parameters.
