myself and +1 are going to SYD over the holidays (W fare, 28-Dec ret 16 Jan)

JFK-LAX cleared at 6 months
LAX-SYD - 1 NC when they added the new flight to the schedule
- 1 cleared at ~120 days
SYD-LAX - 2 NC at booking (330 days)
LAX-JFK - 2 NC at booking (330 days)

Very suprised the LAX-SYD cleared more than 3 months out!
