There's at least a good chance that flights will be running in a week's time. If there are seats available, it would be strange that any carrier would not make them available for sale.
After flight disruptions, passengers holding confirmed bookings for the operating flights will have priority. Those on standby will have to wait until they are offered an open seat on the next available flight.
