This wouldn't be a *weekend* but the week surrounding the date. Jul 4 falls on a Wed. I will be off work that week and would like to get away. If it doesn't work I'm sure we can use the cert for something else...but just wondering if it will be impossible to use during busy times or not.
You have flexibility in time, date (to some extent), and location, and you are booking well in advance (even with the holiday). All very big things that most debbie downers of this cert often do not. I wouldn't overthink this or worry about it too much.
I just did a search with my cert and found four eligible flights DTW-LGA on 6/30, and 4 eligible flights returning LGA-DTW on 7/7.
If you fly outbound 7/3 or 7/4 itself, there are NINE available flights LGA-DTW.
Pricing on all dates starts at $324, which at a quick look seems equal to (or actually slightly lower than) the going cash price for "T" fares both ways.
Didn't have time to search the other destinations, but again, I literally had no issue finding anything within your very flexible parameters on the first try.
