Lauderdale and Ft Myers. I've done this w/ SA's in past and if I get on right when they open up the dates, although they go quick, I've been quick enough and never had probs. I always do it for holiday season on morning they open up. This time I was on it morning the window opened up for booking and there wasn't a single flight w/ seats avail in or around or on any day the week between Christmas and New Years.
Just to clarify, the schedule that was opened today extended bookings until March 2012. Before today, travel was available through early January 2012. Therefore, holiday travel has been available for booking for some time now.

That being said, I can certainly research the dates and city pairs you are looking to use your SAs on. I will PM you for details.
