PHL used to be a pretty routine hit for me wrt availability at booking. It's still there, but clearly not near as often.
it seems like they’ve restricted the use on a lot of international flights. Looked for fall tickets to Europe and some flights have 0 seats sold in business but still don’t have availability for SWUs to autoclear. And then JFK to London and Paris is the same way although I know that’s a more premium route they think they may be able to sell tickets on and probably hold it back to last minute clears .
