On the other hand, if OP were ticketed for LAX-DFW of LAX-anywhere domestic or LAX-JFK-LHR, and SDC is never available, then it would be a meaningless benefit and subject to appropriate consumer fraud action by DOT.
I disagree. The fact that it's never or almost never available on one route doesn't make it fraudulent.

I do agree there should be a threshold below which you shouldn't be able to advertise something. For example, there's a difference between advertising a $249 TV for $199 and saying "Quantities Limited" when you only have 50 to sell and advertising a $249 TV for $49 as a Black Friday special without saying "5 available per store."
