LX 257. Monday.
95% chance you'll be fine, but I would set a aircraft alert on EF just to be sure.

Do you mind me asking how you know that data?

Not nearly as exciting as JFK-YVR-JFK CX F, but I did just book:

GRX-BCN VY (IB) Y x 4 seats. (5k Avios + $22.21)

Thing is, I  still need a 5th seat. EF says Y4, so that must be the 4 seats I just booked.
What's the chance a 5th award seat will open up, and if it so improbable, when should I buy a revenue seat? (Current price: $112)

Just buy it today and lock it up so you don't have to worry about it
Life isn't about checking the boxes. Nobody cares.

I just chose random dates in June and July where I saw availability.

I'm not sure...this was IB Avios.
And FWIW, it was not viewable on BA.com but was viewable on IB. I'm sure this is not news to others.

yea, but on retrospect, i should have done TLV-AMM-AUH-CMB for the outbound.
I presume they'll charge a change fee at this point due to GF/EY not being a OW partner.
