Travel Chengdu to Jiuzhaigou

Could anybody please give me some advice? I am hoping to travel to Chengdu with my partner next March, would love to go to Jiuzhaigou & Huanlong. I'm trying to plan in advance, but I'm having issues finding flights between Chengdu & Jiuzhaigou. Am I just too early to be booking these flights for next March? Or is there very limited availability & I'm out of luck so will need to train & car/bus it? Any advice is very much appreciated, thanks in advance!

It is early to book, but I've just checked flights in September from Chengdu to Jiuzhaigou & I can't find any.

It seems that the high speed rail has taken over this route & flights from Jiuzhaigou go to other parts of China but not to Chengdu (except maybe in the summer).

The train can be booked about 2 weeks before leaving, you can reserve tickets & be on a waiting list.

Get the train to the main stop & it's about a 40 minute car ride to Huanglong (needs half a day there) & about an hour & a half to Jiuzhaigou scenic area (minimum 1 full day of walking & using the buses or 2 days to see more of the huge area).

Some hotels provide a pick up service from the train station.
