Been searching for business reward seats from LHR to CDG on the Qantas website last few days and found aavailability on at least 3 flights on BA on 16 June 26. Looking again today it seems all BA availability - in both economy and business - has gone. Was a bit surprised by this so looked on several other days in June and May next year and can't find a single BA flight with availability in either Economy or Business. Also had a look on the BA website and see the same thing. This seems strange to me - does anyone have a view on what might be going on here? Could they have had some form of system glitch that has removed all reward seats?

Depending on where in London/Paris you are going from/to the Eurostar train can be cheaper and quicker point to point. Are airline other than BA.
LHR-CDG = 216 miles is a poor use of ff miles/avios/points
 
Realise Eurostar is an option - and if no availability opens up we’ll probably do that. Looking for this leg as a segment in our Oneworld Classic Reward so in essence it’s already paid for. Currently we’re booked LHR to BOM which puts us in the $500 odd departure tax band whereas CDG is around $60.

QF not showing those flights though. (They are showing IB flights)

Looking on Seatalerts and the QF website there is zero BA award seats available to QFF from LHR to any major euro destination between 15 May and 31 May 2026. Plenty of options before and after that two week block.
