Help with reward flight
Hi All,
Appreciate any assistance in advance - I am trying to book 3 round trip business class tickets NYC-MAD. Dates are flexible within August / September / October but the return needs to be approximately 1 week after arrival. I have tried every way I can think of but whenever I find 3 in one direction I can't find a return. Thanks again for any help

Welcome to FT!
Yours is a bit of an ask; multiple business class seats are always tricky, and the current huge reduction is service is giving airlines a big headache in advance planning. I’d wait and just keep trying, something may come up closer to the date. It might not though, since with reduced demand and supply airlines may just focus on selling seats. Depending on your citizenship etc, and the likely extension of restrictions, you may not be permitted to enter Spain.

3 J award tickets in summertime / early autumn isn't likely to happen.
If you are proceeding beyond MAD, sometimes there is more award space due to married segment logic.
Otherwise book what you can in J and the other leg in PE. By the time you've found the perfect combination somebody will have already grabbed those J award seats.
