Also don't know if I should purchase AS miles to standby for it given it'so only a month away and I won't be redeeming it for other flights anytime soon.
Difficult to say. They may release additonal availability close to departure, but there is no fixed schedule and depends on bookings levels. Also, any availability may be taken by JMB members on wait list for upgrades.
Whether you should buy now depends mainly on whether you can hold an AS award until you get the purchase of the miles completed, but you'd have to ask in the AS forum for that.
