Thread: July 5 to Phoenix

Yet MyIDTravel is also showing 9+ open seats on most PHX-SLC flights July 7. Are my expectations out of whack?

Thanks!

As I understand it, myIDtravel is showing fare buckets, not the number of actual unsold seats, plus it tells you nothing about oversales and non-revs. I'm with isppilot, summer+weekend+holiday travel can be tricky, add to that you're OA......sometimes you just have to pay the piper.
Good Luck
