It looks like reward tickets first become available online a year in advance. I guess I shouldn't wait until Feb. 17, 2016 to book the round trip tickets. Instead, I should book one-way on Feb 10, 2016. And book the return, one-way on Feb. 17, 2017.

Does that sound right? If I call, can I book more than a year in advance? Any other tips (I've never redeemed SkyPass points before)?

Thanks!
Olympics are on 2018, are you planning 2017 or 2018?
