Interesting, I'm waiting for YVR, I booked the outbound 2 weeks ago with my 2-4-1 but haven't seen any new F inventory since then. Business only since they released the F seats back in early April.

Ah user error! I had 4 people in the app. When I reduce it to 2 it does show availability. However, this does make me wonder if BA are cutting back on Avios availability. I used to have no problem finding 4 seats 10/11 months out, whereas today Feb and March are showing nothing. Of course it could just be higher demand.
If you’re looking for 4, maybe booking them in groups of two might help. I have a sneaky suspicion they don’t want to show so many all at once.
Hoping we can upgrade our whole group to F on the way back! Will keep an eye on baredemtionfinder.

Is there any update on this situation? I'm looking all over for 4 F tickets to multiple destinations next Summer and nothing at all (although scattered availability on many routes up until April), and loads in Club (surprisingly) during Jul/Aug. Have people really been finding that if you book 2 F seats, 2 more in F open up hours later, or are Club my only options if I want four of us to travel together.
Don't really want to end up with lots of changed booking fees taking big gambles, but the Mrs really does prefer F!
Any advice appreciated.
