Purchase by 12:00 am (midnight) Central Time on July 12 to avoid cancellation. Learn more.
Technically that is just a few hours away. The FAQ says you get 24 hours. Maybe they're just misusing the 12:00am terminology, or maybe they're using shorter holds for these fare sales?

Having trouble pricing just about anything out of SEA. 
On booking engines, that is. FC is spitting out fares though.
Scratch that... I'm finding some now...
