Which route seems to have the best availability during August? Looking at next summer and guess ideally UC outbound and PE back (have 2 amex vouchers).
Or is this a how long is a piece of string question?

Cancun is currently looking pretty good. Lots of UC availability.

Be careful - the "rules" say that you can't upgrade any PE upgrade from your Amex vouchers, so unless you are very,. very lucky you can't do this. Or do you mean the use PE vouchers for one way, and buy the UC the other way - that would be very expensive!
If you book early there should be good availability for all the routes in August 2017. You can often get a good deal by booking as part of a holiday with VH as well, and then get the full ATOL benefits as well.

Looking at using the vouchers one way and reward flights going the other way - currently have about 180k...
Got to decide on a destination first though...

Well Cancun it is, trigger finger got the better of me and bagged 3 G's got pick of the seats at the minute as well gone from 8,9.10B - nothing wrong with these i presume? Or should i switch? 2 adults and a child in the middle seat so we've got him surrounded.
Now have to wait a couple of weeks to get the inbound flights sorted. Speaking of which as mentioned above i've got a couple of Amex vouchers due but wont get those until november time, If i was to grab 3 PE tickets in a couple of weeks could i then apply those vouchers to 2 of the seats to get a few miles back?
Will get a chance to see the new clubhouse as well i guess.
