Booking is limited far out, but not impossible. It depends when you’re booking relative to departure and time of year.

For example, if you want to head to Paris for the Olympics tomorrow, there is (or was earlier today) confirmable space from DFW, PHL and JFK on tomorrow evening’s flights. One way tickets were going for $450-$650 in Y (J at $3-9k) so there’s value there. LHR is probably your best bet for long range bookings given the capacity across AA and BA. Not DFW/LA specific, but some context on SWUs.
