I am trying to do MEM-SEA in late May. Best flights are not open, though there are some options available. I did the checking for flights over the next week or so and found LOTS of availability.

Amazing how they dump award seats at the last minute into the system.

There is something strange that will happen at corporate with this. The award mgrs can now report to anyone that cares that a HIGH PERCENT of available award seats leave the gate empty, so why are people complaining? The can also up the percentage of award seats that are available on each flight, even though few people will look for them iside the one week window.

Yikes!
