Spirit Passes
For those who have used your spirit passes: how far out did you make the reservation?
This is the third time I've looked over a month out to try to make a reservation somewhere, and Travelnet comes up with zero seats available. On one of the legs, Travelnet still shows 100+ seats available, and almost 40 on the first.
How wide open does a flight have to be to book spirit pass travel? Just curious.

FYI, I tried using ours for an upcoming vacation. We could go non stop down but would have to go through ATL on the way back because no direct that day. Despite all flights being wide open, when you put a connection in it wouldn’t allow it on the passes. 🤯. I called and talked to a manager. He said revenue management puts restrictions on connection times of day and such (even if each flight was good to book individually). So frustrating. Also, he said there’s no more than 9-10 Spirit pass seats per flight even though it shows 100+ even on the pass setting. Frustrating.

If that merely means no one flight can have more than 9-10 of those passes locked in, that doesn't seem like a very big deal. What are the odds that one destination, one flight, one day will have more than that anyway? Especially when there are a limited, fixed and dwindling number of those passes out there anyway?
