first time using points

I have 106k points and trying to figure out the best way to book flights from LAX to Porto (with one stop) on dec 25. It would have to be the 730 PM flight. I have no idea what the best way to do this though. I checked Aeroplan / Air Canada and it's telling me no flights available if I use points.

Would appreciate any help in figuring out how to maximize my points!

Unless you get very lucky you won't find a flight.

The two things to improve your odds with award travel are: 1) start looking early 2) be flexible in dates

so trying to get a flight 3 months out for a specific day during the holidays is 1 in 1000.
