I’ve been shopping for 4 seats on Aug 10th, one way Sea to Ord. The last 4 years I’ve bought award seats at 12500, but this year there were no supersaver awards. Since I’m flying with kids, I stick with morning/ early afternoon nonstop flights. Alaska’s fare is $293 for flights 34 or 22. Delta flight 2338 Is $188; American flight 1624 is $225, flight 1017 is $164; all fares are for main cabin.
Still waiting for SWA to release their schedule.

I might spend the extra if I was buying one ticket, but not 4. Most likely will fly SWA is fares are under $200.
