From time to time there are these spikes in availability, but they usually disappear quickly again.

Before, last minute seats didn't up until maybe 3 or 4 days out from departure date depending on loads. Now I'm seeing coveted routes like LAX-NRT available up to 10 days out and other routes even further out. Maybe they are fine tuning or just trying to keep us on our toes.

Oh I don't blame them at all. Just means I need to rethink my strategy for getting home from DPS in 6 weeks. I was planning on being able to get it done before leaving but now might just have to monitor while traveling and book return flights during the trip.

All good though!
