I see a few connecting options on the AS site that would work better, but they are far from optimal. I've chosen to do nothing with the itinerary so far and am waiting for another schedule change in hopes that better options will arise.
What is the typical timing for schedule changes that far out? Is there a point in time when schedule changes for May 2023 will essentially be done (e.g. by March 2023 there likely won't be any more changes for May)?
The days of schedule changes nearly every Saturday night seem to be over.... they are happening but way less often. I would go ahead and ask for the flights you want based on the current schedule so you get better seating options and get added to the waitlist sooner.
