Since one has to call AS to book LA space, how long do you spend on the phone searching for dates/availability with an AS agent, since LA award space isn’t published on sites like ExpertFlyer? Granted, we have plenty of time (2022), though in your experience Eastbay1K , is it 330 days out or randomly somewhere in between 330 days and say, 2 weeks out? We’ve just about resigned ourselves to saving ourselves the mental fatigue and just booking J LAX-SCL/LIM-EZE, or is it not so mentally fatiguing?
