LCG - GLA reward search failure....glitch or idiot?

Forgive me if the answer to my query is blatantly obvious....I'm not getting any younger you know!!

When searching for LCG - GLA reward seats over a range of dates months in advance all I ever get is ''Sorry, we can’t find availability''. Yet when searching each sector individually it returns plenty of award space easily complying with MCT. Is their a reason for this?

Sorry...LCG is A Coruna and GLA is the best city in the world.

La Coruna is a great place, I can't wait to get back there. I would go to the same guy in his stall in a square selling stacks of churros and serving caf on leche. Sorry I can't help with you Avios issue. Call center, perhaps?

If you book in advance, you can have LCG-GLA via MAD/LHR for 82. Just saying. To me it is better value than RFS.

The wife's grandfather came to Argentina from a small town near La Coruna hence her strong attachment to the place...I love it too. That's why we hope to make it our next home. It being 6,000 miles closer to Scotland will make my life easier.

Thanks. I saw they were cheap as chips so I suspect that's what we'll do in the end if she promises not to get carried away with the shopping.

Hiddy, are you being asked whether you'd like a stopover? If so select one and continue your journey on the same date.

If not you'll have to call, mention that the website isn't working (shock) and to waive the fee.

No...not being asked anything. I seem to recall someone saying the search engine wasn't very good on two stop searches which might explain it. No panic, the trip is ages away and we may still go overland to MAD.

Ah yes, forgot it would have to be two stops. I've never seen a two stop itinerary on BA.com actually (using Avios)!.

It would be quite a few Avios, 15000 per person one way off peak, plus tax of approx 35 (no RFS on this route).
