Official 2014-15 Blackout Dates

A couple of days ago AGR released its official list of 2014-15 blackout dates:

February 14, 2014
February 17, 2014
April 17-18, 2014
April 21, 2014
May 23, 2014
July 3, 2014
July 6, 2014
August 29, 2014
September 1, 2014
October 10, 2014
November 25-26, 2014
November 29-30, 2014
December 1, 2014
December 20-24, 2014
December 26-31, 2014
January 2-4, 2015

Observations:

-Blackout dates associated with Independence Day are back.
-Once again, the majority of dates surrounding Christmas & New Year's Day are blacked out, despite the fact that December 2014 has exactly the same date structure as December 2008 (blackout dates back then were December 19-21 and 26-28).

Probably a reflection of strong/increasing demand for revenue customers around the Christmas/New Years holidays. While it's hard to wedge in an AGR redemption around Thanksgiving or Christmas, it's still relatively easy to make a trip work even during other holiday periods as long as you are flexible by a day or two.

When AGR started, and in more recent years, there were actually more blackout dates in December than there are now.
