The schedule over the Christmas season is just now coming up. There's no availability US-Japan, but sufficient availability Japan-US. Again, not looking for J space - just Y. We're looking for a total of 7 tickets. We don't have enough miles to go J in even just one direction.

Our schedule is restricted by school schedules. We are looking at Dec 16 outbound, Dec 25 return. The return should show up in the next day or two, but we aren't going to book that given the uncertainty of availability on the outbound. At this point it looks to me like a set plan to not release seats to AS (and possibly other partners) for late-December.
