DP: After much difficulty dealing with un-bookable space I could see online but would error out on last checkout page, I was finally able to book 2J ticket from LAX-NAN in Aug 2024. I can see e-ticket number and got confirmation email so believe it went through. I booked each seat under a separate reservation and each time AS site accurately update the space was taken. Next I need to find flight onward to CHC after a stop over. Doesn't look like can can do that online so will call in.

AS does have a direct flight from PHX-LAX so will also need to book position flight unless SFO-NAN space opens up.

Best of luck to everyone trying to lock in this sweet spot before AS devalues it.
