Help me get to Canada...

Hi All, looking to get a family of 4 to Vancouver and back from CNS ideally which is Fiji Airways, or happy to fly out of Sydney also. Looking at 4-10th Jan 2027. I have been playing around with dates and availability. Am I right in thinking there is a bit of a black out from mid dec to mid Jan usually on reward flights around this time?

I have 600,000 qantas points and happy with economy. I am set up with gyoza and flight alerts for this time frame.

Any tips? is it doable? Happy/keen to do a few nights in Fiji on the way back if we can make it work!
