This time we are taking a more general look at Avios availability for popular destinations. If there is something you would like us to focus on please let us know in the comments below.
Keep checking Reward Flight Finder for the latest availability.
London – Dubai
This is a very rare occurrence because Dubai is always an in-demand reward seat booking. There are some Business Class seats popping up in June through to October both outbound and inbound. Again from January, through February there is some good Business Class availability.
London – Bermuda
London – Johannesburg
Another in-demand reward seat route. Like Dubai, Johannesburg regularly features in the most searched destinations on Reward Flight Finder. Amazingly, there are some Business Class and First Class seats available to book both outbound and inbound from May, through to the end of August. September to December has some good Business Class availability.
It is relatively simple to get from Johannesburg to Cape Town by air with regular flights at regular intervals.
London – Buenos Aires
A couple of Business Class spots have opened up in July, both outbound and inbound. These are sure to go quickly though, so if Argentina is on your bucket-list act fast.
I can highly recommend Buenos Aires as a place to visit with beautiful architecture, fantastic food wine and a thriving speakeasy bar scene.
London – Sao Paolo
If you’re looking to book a winter getaway, there are some good reward seats available to Brazil. November and December 2023 show a good selection of reward seat availability both outbound and inbound.
You can check further availability using Reward Flight Finder.

Hi Michelle I love your blog, so thank you for your continuing hard work.
However, I do have some serious ethical concerns about any partnership with RFF:

Hi AA. I work as part of the team at Reward Flight Finder. I’d like to clarify that we do not scrape reward seat data from anyone, including Seatspy. We actually have the same data sources, so our data is equally as accurate. As I’m sure you’ll all agree, the points and reward travel market is huge, with a lot of great opportunities for people to maximise reward seat travel with a number of airlines. Reward Flight Finder has a different customer offer from Seatspy, and there is room for us both to help people travel to amazing destinations using points and airmiles.
Mauritius please! Near impossible to find anything in November – February time.
Hi Matthew. I’ve just taken a look at our reward seat availability calendar and you’re right there is no availability at all unless you’re willing to travel in Economy reward seats. What I’d suggest you do is sign up to RFF and set an Alert for the seats you’re looking for, we’ll then send you notification when these seats pop up so you can book them before they get snapped up – https://rewardflightfinder.com/pricing
I have emailed you about this before with no response, but I’ll try here. My experience in recent years has been quite bad when considering the GOLD service. Regular failures to show seats that are available, no clarification what type of seats (depending on your companion voucher, absolutely dire (or no) response time for support, AND no response to a request for CEO contact details for complaint. I shall not be renewing. Seat Spy here I come.
Hi Tim
I work for RFF. Please can you email me directly via [email protected], detailing any problems you have had with your Gold membership and I will look at sorting issues you’ve experienced?
