This thread was closed due to obsolescence. See http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/south...-searches.html

It was mistakenly re-opened September 2015 due to a false rumor that Southwest had eliminated the "open to all" award search functionality in a website overhaul.

It was closed again on 27-Oct-2015 due to its continued obsolescence. Please use this URL for Award availability searches, and bookmark the URL in case you need it again in the future.

12/21 is a Freedom Award blackout date (and thus SAs are unsearchable that date), so you must call WN to determine SA availability

LAS-MKE
12/23: unavailable
12/24: 2:50p, 5:20p
12/25: 8:50a, 2:50p

You can also check availability of freedom blackout dates by booking any standard award reservation and then "changing" the award trip, rather than booking a new one.

Search is now available to all!

As ftnoob has just discovered, award searches are now available to everyone, with or without awards in your account!

It is no longer possible to check for Certificate Award flight availability without an Award in your account. For anyone who has Certificate Award booked travel and wishes to make a change to the itinerary, this was be a good service until the last of the Certificates are gone.
Done. Thanks for the suggestion, Spektre!

HOU-MSY 9/8: 8 of 9 flights are available. 505pm flight #289 is the only one unavailable for both standard & freedom awards (this means it is 100% sold out)

MSY-HOU: 9/9: all 9 nonstop flights are available with standard awards

Would someone be so kind as to check Standard Award availability for travel tomorrow (24-Oct-2015)? Only need availability for the outbound.

DAL-CUN
DAL-MBJ
DAL-AUA
DAL-PUJ
DAL-SJU

You have my most sincere thanks! Scrambling to try to find a way to avoid Patricia and PVR.

Cheers,
