Yes, you can book a flight, but the process varies by airline and the type of ticket you’re looking for.
Online Booking Options
- Southwest flights can be booked online through April 24, 2022, giving about seven months of planning window.
- Frontier’s GoWild! Pass lets you book and confirm flights the day before departure for domestic trips and up to ten days ahead for international trips, with bookings made at flyfrontier.com or the mobile app.
- Cathay Pacific offers a promotion where booking a flight online earns a limited‑edition Year of the Dragon stuffed toy, with the booking link provided on their site.
Award and Promo Booking
- Turkish Airlines award tickets often require emailing multiple locations and then calling to pay taxes, as the call center may not process the payment directly.
- Virgin Atlantic’s Reward Flight Checker shows award pricing but does not allow direct booking; you must navigate back to the airline’s site to complete the purchase.
- OTAs can be used to search award availability across airlines, though the actual booking must be done on the airline’s own website.
Passenger Information Tips
- Secure Flight data must match your passport, but a middle name is not required on the ticket as long as the airline’s profile has the correct information.
- When booking, double‑check that your full name and any frequent‑flyer numbers are entered correctly in the “My Trips” or similar management section.
So, depending on the carrier and whether you’re using points or paying cash, you have several ways to secure a reservation, from straightforward online tools to more manual email and phone steps.

But within a few weeks it all went away. Then it came back and online bookings got better, I guess, but it is still kind of garbage. Let’s be honest here, this program is a real pain in the
