LAN limiting seat releases to partners?

I had been looking for a while at LAX-LIM through BA and they were pretty much like clockwork 7seats at 330days out. Now I am only seeing 1 seat released. Anyone notice the same? Is this a seasonal thing?

It may just be quirkiness. I had the same thing happen when I was booking a flight in March - 7 J seats available every day until the day I wanted, of course. It took 2-3 days and then the magical 7 appeared.

I swear they use a random # generator on if/when to release seats!

I booked 4 of us for a trip next April 2017 LAX-SCL-MDZ and return SCL-LAX. The day I started planning the notional trip, it was U7. After confirming that our friends were serious about going that night, I looked again and it was U0 on both LAX-SCL and SCL-LAX! The next day, back to U7... So I jumped on the phone to put it on hold, even though SCL-MDZ and MDZ-SCL were both T0.

Then, the next day, SCL-MDZ opened up to T7. Even after adding our 4 seats to the ticket, it was (and still is) showing T7...

Now I'm just waiting for the MDZ-SCL to show at least T4... and then I get to enjoy paying the change fees x4...

Good luck with your trip planning!

I'm having the same problem with LAN domestic flights. We are past 331 days out and nothing is appearing on BA.com to use Avios for a LIM-CUZ flight. There is wide open availability in June, but absolutely no flights in July. I'm stressed. Does this happen?
