I know AC opens award bookings 355 days out, but from what I have observed it seems that initially only limited inventory is released - specifically monitoring routes LHR-YYC and YYC-SFO. There is decent inventory available for March and April 2020, but almost nothing for May next year.

Could it be that it is because busy summer season starts then?

thanks
Are you SE?
Do you want Y or PE or J?

Any TATL from YYC is extremely difficult to get. LHR is a tiny bit easier than FRA, but it is still terrible, and if you are not SE, you will likely have to settle for Y or PE.

YYC-SFO is easy. I have no idea when it is released, but I got award availability 4 days out just a couple weeks ago.

It is worth getting Expert Flyer and setting up seat alerts for award space, definitely for YYC-LHR.
