The easiest way to check KE is honestly to just go to the SkyPass page that lists the peak dates. If your desired date is a peak date for SkyPass on any route, DL will consider it a blackout date for all routes. CZ and MU no longer have blackout dates (although of course they may have little to no availability on certain dates as determined by revenue management).
Thank you. KE is out for me as my dates are blackout dates.
As a follow-up then:
1. Is EF still the best method to search for CZ and MU availability?
2. I assume that if I am able to find availability on CZ/MU then I will need to call DL directly to book? IIRC, dl.com award calendar still doesn't display CZ/MU inventory?
