Holy crap, my LAX-AKL rt just cleared both ways! Forward is 11/1, return 11/12. Got an EF notification that C opened up, looked at aa.com and I was already in J for both flights. Exactly a month out...given prior experience and what I've read here that just seems crazy.
I picked 3L (right side window) for the LAX-AKL leg and 5A (left side window) for the return. On the 789 for both. Won't matter, cause it's an ocean down there and I'm gonna be lying down asleep!
