Finding Avios availability for SEA to DUB
Hi,

I'm looking to fly my dog home from Vancouver in a single (business class, extra baggage too) flight.
I'm looking to use my Avios points to fly direct to Dublin, but can't for the life of me find any availability.

Aside from going day by day on Avios.com, is there another way to search?

Thanks!

They are notoriously stingy with partner award availability so you're best bet will be direct via avios. Just keep checking. If you are flexible on it needing to be direct that could help too, Calgary or Toronto may have availability

I think the idea in travelling from Vancouver to Seattle to take a flight was such that only one single flight, with no transfers, would be needed (thereby minimizing the time the pet would be with the cargo handlers).

If the OP wasn't happy to fly a connecting itinerary from their location in Vancouver, I doubt they will want to travel to Calgary (no EI flights, though there is a (seasonal?) Westjet service to Dublin) or even to Toronto (that would be a long drive...) before stepping on a plane!

EI are fairly stingy with west coast biz awards.
Someone recently said there was better EI availability through BA Exec Club. No idea if its true or if its only certain routes, but probably worth checking in BA.com
Will still need to do day by day search on BA
