What to know

When should I search?
The earliest you can book a flight for 31 May 2027 is today. Dates beyond that haven't been loaded into the system yet — searching them will return zero seats whether or not the route normally has good availability.
Saver-level awards (the cheapest tier) typically disappear within hours of release on popular routes. Be at your computer at the moment your target date opens, or have ATF watch it for you.
