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.
Yes, you are looking for tickets during the highest of high season - since they sell tickets easily for that time it is very likely they won't release award tickets - good luck.
