My understanding is that airline tickets cannot be booked more than 12 months in advance. Can anyone confirm?
When reporting an incident involving overbooking, a similar comment tends to come-up: '' but... I booked my ticket(s) X months before the flight...". Unfortunately, the selection of who to offload in such situations is not linked to the date of purchase but, AFAIK, to the time of check-in, status within the carrier's FFP or even price paid.
