Going to Asia, you want to book Tues-Thurs primarily, and avoid Fri/Sat/Sun (Saturday is the worst day). Coming back to the US, just stick with any mid-week date Tues-Thurs.
How many TPACs have you actually cleared on GPUs?

IME, Friday is often easier than Thursday outbound. Business travelers want to get home late Friday, not late Saturday.
