We would like to fly out on 06/19 and return on 06/29 but the closest return in July 5 or 6. I keep checking seats on the 06/19 flights and they do not appear to be any more booked then the few open dates. Any thoughts? How likely is it at this point that additional return flights will open up?
Unpredictable. You might have to buy some miles and get an Easypass return. I've done that before. Many of the airlines do a little shell game where they wait to see if they're going to have empty seats, then add reward capacity at the last minute, in order to be able to say, "We offered X% of rewards seats on our flights this year!" You may also get better results calling Onepass and having them check other carriers. Finally, you've picked high season, so it'll be tough.
