I had good luck with PIT-ATL-VPS this summer to invite family down for a beach trip (summer is actually peak tourism season in the FL panhandle unlike the rest of the state) For midweek to midweek, it was pretty wide open for 18K round trip in standard coach (cash price about $350 per ticket) and 23.5K in C+ ($450 cash price) and no problems getting four C+ tickets on flights with daylight departures and arrivals. Allegiant does fly PIT-VPS that time of year and it was like Delta was competing on award space with that rather than cash ticket prices though there never was an advertised award sale.
