It seems that some historic fares appear on searches beyond the A3's published schedule, but they are not bookable.

I also tend to book 8-12 months out, so this 6-month timetable is upsetting me too. However, keep in mind that A3 doesn't always release the cheap fares immediately, sometimes they do, but often they release them a few weeks later, and sometimes months later. Another possible problem with booking way in advance is that some times A3 cancels seasonal routes when the loads are low, which is very upsetting.
