Sorry to say, LAX-RDU, presently there's nothing 5/20, 21, 22, 23, 24. RDU-LAX, there is availability only on 5/22 and 5/25.

OK, I'm very confused now. If you don't have a reward, can't you still check availability for dates by going to your Account Snapshot and clicking on the "Southwest Seat Finder" link at the top to see if the date you want has a check mark or not?

Hi Scott,
Yes, you can see availability on a daily basis without having an award. However, if someone needs particular flight information, an award is needed in order to check.

Belated "Welcome to FlyerTalk!," scott_w!
Your confusion is understandable, as most queries on this thread have been for award availability by date, and that information is available to anyone. Perhaps the moderators could retitle the thread or insert some text at the front to alert folks that this thread only needs to be used when the request is for something more specific than "any award availability on days x, y, z?"
(There is even a way to check award availability without logging in, but it is not as easy as it used to be.)

Would someone mind checking award availability for Friday, June 18, CMH to PHX?
This is for an unaccompanied minor so it would need to be either the non-stop or the later (last?) flight with 1-stop, but no change of plane. Thanks!

No availability on June 18. Actually, no availability on ANY FLIGHT AND DAY in June CMH-PHX except for June 30. You can see that yourself after logging in to southwest.com (the calendar will show all white except for June 30).
Southwest is becoming as bad as Continental on award availability, you can still get a seat when the schedule opens, but after that ... ugh.

I have already booked 3 award tickets on CO this year. Granted, just domestic routes, but all at the lowest award level for F or Y.

No standard availability on any flight, but freedom available on all.
