If you want availability, the YYZ-GIG route is mostly wide open, but the schedule is very limited for business travel.
Yeah, South America is crazy. I tried booking AC93 from SCL on April 1 this morning. J0 and apparently I'm "not the first" SE100K 1MM on the waitlist. So I just bought the remaining J1 on April 2 as backup. April 3 is J0 as well. Back in November I snagged a J1 on YYZ-SCL -- 3 weeks out. That's definitely a route where the "discount J" discussion topic is quite academic...)
(On April 1, AC93 is still H4Q2. I wonder if AC would sell me a row of 3 economy seats instead of a pod...)
