Same here. It's often my starting point when I'm making a new reservation to see what the options are. It's also super useful when trying to help friends or family out of an irregular operations mess. Back in December 2022 when Southwest had its meltdown, there was next to nothing available for flights from LA/OC back to the SF Bay Area. Using EF flight availability, I saw 4 seats show up on a SNA-OAK Spirit flight. I grabbed them, and we got out that night. We would have been stuck for days.
