Thanks again for the help.
July is peak season from/to SCL, because of the mid-term 2-3 week winter school holiday (moving dates), so I would monitor the availability as far in advance as possible. I am not game enough to suggest how far in advance, let alone talk about guarantees. My advice is simply to be aware this is a tricky part of your trip, and unless you are willing to go up to a DONE6, and route via LAX, you have nothing to fall back on if that sector fails.
