Had an original 1/10 direct HNL-SFO flight AS876 on a 737-800 that I changed last week (pre incident) to Tueday 1/09. Post incident Tue AS876 cancelled as assigned plane was Max-9. AS customer service unable to rebook another direct AS876 until Friday citing Wednesday and Thursday direct flights were full Rebooked on Friday which again cancelled due to being a Max-9. Subsequently was rebooked on a HNL-SEA-SFO for Friday. Being the glutton I am, I checked the AS website today and noticed that about a dozen seats were on sale for today's AS876 that was suppose to be full. Very frustrating as I constantly checked the AS website for this flight and it did not appear until a couple hours before departure time.
