Award miles are subject to use when the specified flight is available to award miles booking classes. Every airline has a yield management policy and they do not want to sell free tickets in high seasons. Well maybe in some cases airlines implements promotions to make frequent fliers to use their miles before coming to high season and this is generally winter in Europe and maybe same for QR too. However, too much parameters exist in the busines. Availability on award miles booking classes depend on the destination, date, seat sold and rivals also. That's why I, as an airline employee Istanbul strongly suggest you to book maybe 1 year earlier ( for popular destinations) or use the miles in off-peak seasons.
