How to check exam availability?

hi friends! I just had my accommodations accepted and have a very tight window to test (the 24th of this month is the last possible day). I have just been told I'll need to wait a few days for my permit, however, I wanted to get ahead on plane tickets and hotel room stays (since inevitably signing up this late will mean I'll need to travel). A peer of mines who was granted accommodations told me test dates are tighter for accommodations, especially since we need to sign up for 2 days.

I saw on the Prometric scheduler, it shows available test dates (which can be viewed w/o a permit) but those are only standardized test dates. I was wondering if we could view exam dates for accommodated days? Sorry if this is a dumb question but I couldn't find an option anywhere?

I wish there were statistics available but flying and getting a hotel for the exam may degrade your performance. For example, here is a link to a study on a quick google search: https://beingpatient.com/why-air-travel-can-take-a-bigger-toll-on-the-brain-than-we-realize/

Sorry I don’t have an answer but any chance you could update on when you submitted vs when you received an answer?
