I guess my question ultimately is - is there a sweet spot for how far out to book to maximize availability? Or does such a thing just not exist...
The 6AM flight arrives in Detroit at 3PM, a very good time to arrive anywhere. Arriving after 10PM or before 10AM isn't ideal. The flights is business class on Lufthansa, a $6000 flight; so the cost of one night in a hotel for the sake of convenience would be a bargain. The Magic 8 Ball would be the better option to determine future availability. I see no good reason not to book the tickets now.
