Does that mean if they have 2 flights available (out of the total routings) for Award travel each day, they are true to their word of No Blackout Days? And where are these $39 non-stop fares on busy days? WN speaks with crooked tongue. Award seats are very rare now, even on what I perceive as non-busy days -- although they may open up down the road.
