Airlines typically reserve just a few seats on each flight for award tickets, and on the most desirable routes these spaces get snapped up quickly.
If you still don't turn anything up, check partner airline Web sites for promotional fares and offers on a route; these are indications that the carrier has seats to be filled, which is a ray of hope for you.
However, airlines regularly change requirements for awards, so if you see a good deal, it's smart to withdraw your miles and obtain the award certificate then and there and decide later when to travel.
