There are 3 flights daily on AS for KTN-SEA, and for whatever reason, all flights are sold out Dec 21, 22, and 23. The first day with availability is Dec 24. Preferred return date is Dec 22. I have verified and subscribed to alerts on Expert Flyer for all dates/flights.
First question is, what is going on to have zero availability?
Next, what steps (beyond what I have taken) shall I take to try to get a flight out sooner than Dec 24?
If you're REALLY REALLY stuck, try and find a local company that will get you from KTN to Prince Rupert (YPR) or Terrace (YXT), and then Hawkair (hawkair.ca) have cheapish flights to YVR and get you on your way back to LAX via YVR. Just a note, Hawkair serve the south terminal at YVR so allow a little more transfer time as you'll probably have to cab it from there to the main terminal
