Do award bookings open up closer to departure?
I'm trying to score a LHR-CDG flight on 7/31 but the flight time i want isn't popping up. will more open up later or should i just deal with the flights available now. I figure worst case i can pay full price and hop on a eurostar if its worth rolling the dice
thanks in advance!

Yes, award flight availability does open up - even until the day of departure - I would hold off.
Best

What is your preferred time? Have you checked Club Europe? Is Orly an option? Having a quick look then CE is open on nearly all flights.
The afternoon flights aren't absolutely full, so there is a chance they'd open up last min I'd say and I've had success with this before - check after 1am UK time each day
