Clarification on new travel rules starting October 10

[SANSAN]

Just tried to apply for the travel authorization six days out and it said I have to wait until tomorrow so it seems you are still not able to apply until five days before departure. Does not make much sense having a travel authorization that is good for 10 days but but can only apply five days before departure so possibly the application has not been updated yet or the bulletin is incorrect.

And Sansan, you have seen people complaining about the changes to their flights, often without notice from the airlines.

The extra 5 days may be there to take into account these changes.
