to think that Rewards Flights are intentionally difficult to find/book

We have loads of points and two Amex companion flight vouchers to use – and I feel like the BA website is intentionally really bad for finding / booking flights! I can't seem to find any flights from London to the destination we want to book, but then can find flights from Manchester (stopping over in London) to the destination. It says there are 4-5 seats available in business class. When I open up a private tab though to double check a few things though (without losing that search) I can't for the life of me find these exact same flights?! Last week, the same thing happened, then suddenly I found London flights to the destination we want. DP then decided he didn't want to go to that destination so I stupidly didn't book, and now he has decided he does want to go... agh... this whole thing is doing my head in. I've spent about two hours messing around with this now and am coming to the conclusion that BA are intentionally making it as difficult as possible to find/book these kinds of flights. They also seem to have several different engines for searching / booking flights and I keep getting different results... Does anyone have any useful tips for successfully booking rewards flights?! I feel like I'm losing my mind..

I think the app is a faff I agree.
