Help with Seychelles reward availability
Hi All,
Sorry if this is a silly question but I simply can’t work out how to find award availability for Sez. I’ve looked on Baredemtion finder and the ba site, but neither seems to recognise the destination?
Does anyone have any suggestions? If it helps I’m looking for J or F outbound on the 8th December 2018, returning on the 16th.
Many thanks.

baredemption.com has a long term bug there, I think it's to do with particular coding BA uses on that route.
CW: On BA.com I can find it fairly straightforwardly on 8 December it's only showing Qatar in business, on 16 December the BA service is WTP only at the moment, which you can find via the usual Avios redemption search tool. In December the only dates with BA metal available are 1 December outbound and 6, 13 and 20 December inbound. More generally this is clearly a route for those waiting up at 355 days - there is some availability in July and August but it's fairly scant on BA metal.
First: very little showing up at all.
Don't forget the new BA App for Avios redemptions, some may find it a little easier to work with than BA.com.

Thanks for your help CWS, not sure why I can’t find it, maybe it’s me using safari, which doesn’t seem to get on too well with the ba site.
Compared to the Caribbean, prices seem pretty competitive anyway for December. Just snagged club world outbound and WTP inbound for £7,700 for 5 of us on those dates, whereas a similar trip to St Lucia was pricing at about twice that! Hopefully we don’t regret making our first trip in the wet season!
