Spirit (meltdown) Pass
 

Trying to book my 2 free round trip tix from SEA to SYD earned as a result of this summers IT meltdown. Literally hundreds of seats available on DL metal, but the system will not let me book a flight out to SYD (only return flights seem to be available for selection).

I've tried every date plus/minus 2 weeks.

I'm booking 8 mos out, and tons of seats are available. I didn't think these spirit passes had black out days (much less months).

Anyone else have this problem and a possible solution?

I just tried it and I have the opposite problem - I can select an outbound (SEA-LAX-SYD) just fine, but there are no seats available SYD-LAX-SEA for any of a dozen dates (I just randomly picked some dates in June)

I would call the Employee Service Center and talk to the travel people there.

Try a different city pair.

Yep. Booked months out for my parents to Munich last fall, same issue. I called the benefits hotline and I was told revenue management makes the decision to release seats "if they think they won't sell all seats." I drafted an ask Ed letter asking why we were offered something with no fine print only to have it bait and switched. Went through the CPO instead, had an answer in 24 hours and suddenly all seats were available for booking. It's as if no one told revenue people that the passes existed. I suggest going through your CPO to get them to release their grip. If all else fails, send that ask Ed that I never did, and ask for another pair for the most recent meltdown too :)

Any business class/comfort plus opportunities when we use these?

With the OGT passes, they capped how many could be booked on a given flight, regardless of the number of empty seats. So someone may have beat you to those days.

Yes, your pass guarantees you a coach seat and you get to PSUP, which puts you ahead of all the regular nonrevs

Thanks. Will talk to CPO on Monday.

I'd agree with you except that EVERY flight for 2.5 months is blacked out, all with open seats.

Leo Mullin doesn't have a problem.

At least they cut off the babe's passes.:D

In other words, flying internationally, there's a pretty good chance given that the upgrade list is much shorter? Very nice.

Unless you're returning through AMS...KLM gate agents play by their own rules and will not honor the Spirit spas PSUP. Ask me how I know.

You need to elevate it to the supervisor, and if that does not work elevate it again. They tried that with me, it didn't work.

Base seniority
 

What bases are most junior thru to your most senior in that order?

To redeem a meltdown pass?!
Perhaps you meant to find a different thread?!:D

When are we getting the passes for the meltdown that was way worse than the meltdown we originally got the passes for because it was such a bad meltdown?

we got an awesome full shared rewards instead....makes sense.
