Right. Although -- just to spell it out for the benefit of those who don't know -- what we do
in practice is either (a) book a minimal itinerary with the starting date pushed as far out as possible, and then pay the $125 fee to flesh it out with the additional sectors when the time is right or (b) book the full itinerary but with dummy dates for those sectors too far out at the time of booking, and then correct the dates for free when they come within range.
