What happened?
Now I plan to book those segments in Y (in hope to have them changed to D later). Is this a workable strategy? Never had to do this before.
I've found really bad AA availability as well, but I'm looking for late December. Quite a few routes I looked at were entirely sold out in business / first, not even just a D problem. AS however seems to be wide open on the transcon, not that it's even remotely the same experience. But might help you for YVR and ANC to go from LAX on AS instead of DFW on AA.
