Every variation I try doesn't qualify for discount.  I have read the fine print numerous times.  I am not using blackout dates or locations.  Keep getting an error message.


I would keep looking and adjust dates or even destinations if needed...I found as I was booking flights that a number of flights (or various SoCal airports) during their peak times appear to not qualify even though they were not specifically called out in the terms. This also occurs during Southwest's $29/$39/$49-sales too.

 

Example: Friday is usually rush hour for commuter flights between SAN and SMF after mid-morning. Only the early morning flights would qualify in this case, especially if travel occurs during a peak travel period like Thanksgiving, Christmas or Spring Break:

Keep looking...I'm sure you'll find some good deals if you're flexible with dates or locations!

Done 🙂

 

SoCalFlyer97 found some good deals and has booked 'em! This included picking smaller 'convivence' airports in SoCal like ONT which typically have much higher base airfare than at larger airports like SAN for short-haul flights that I usually take. 

 

Should I stick to my plans, I'll be posting Photo Reports of these...

 

Stay tuned!
