Try buying a seat EWR-ZIH in late december, or EWR to any southern vacation destination outside of the US. There is a hold on all seats, either in Y or F to all mexican destinations in December. We go to mexico over xmas every year and are unable to buy tix on CO. We bought our tix on CO this time 2 years ago for the december trip, but it wont allow us to do it this year for some reason. We had to book Delta, which really sucks.
