Do BA claim to have award seats on every flight?
Someone at BA once told me they have availability for miles redemption seats on every flight, even if on some of them there are very very few.
I don't believe that for one second.
If anyone can find me a seat on the morning flight out of TLV (767) in CW in the next 12 month, on any day other then on a Sat, I will eat my hat!

"award seats on every flight"
is rather different from:
"award seats in club world on every flight"
From what the OP says he was told, BA are making the 1st claim and not the 2nd. So I hope the OP does have an edible hat.

No they don't - at least not in the T&Cs

Nicely got out of BA...
