You’ve selectively quoted Ran above. If you re-read his original
email, you’ll see that he said was that people *are* able to buy 
flights to San Francisco now, indeed that he knows people who have.
The bit you have included above claims most airlines sell tickets *at
least* 12 months in advance.

I was simply providing a data point contrary to that, i.e. I’m not able 
to source a ticket to SanFrancisco for July 2018 now, because the
airlines I’d likely look to first don’t see more than 11-12 months in
advance.

I’m confused by your email John; all I was doing is giving a counter
point to Ran’s observation that people already have tickets to fly
in July 2018, but also that I agree that extending the IETF’s ability 
to better support remote participation is now even more important.  
Ran has since responded to both points politely and constructively.

Somewhat puzzled,
Tim
