That's why I says "greater than a week out". Booking/ upgrading in mid May, are there any routes that have shown a consistent pattern with availability. (ie. Above poster mentioned TPE)

I guess I understand June is busier than Late April/early May. But it's only a 2-4 week difference. Btw, I did stumble across one or two Europe return flights with availability but nothing to Europe. I didn't find much looking later in the year. Which routes have "plenty"?

You're saying odds are better 1-2 weeks out are generally better than earlier?
I think that seems to be the case now. Last year and early this year, id say I've been able to book over a month out without much " issue". (Other than spending hours searching). I've always stumbled across something more than a month out. I agree Summer Europe is most difficult. This is the first time I'm coming up empty
