Q. I need to fly to the Seattle area around September 1. I see a lot of good deals for travel to Seattle, but most of them limit travel to no later than August 14. When will travel dates be extended past September 1?

A. The airlines release fares and determine fare periods. The release dates are top-secret and not for prying eyes like ours here at Airfarewatchdog. All we can promise is that as soon as we know, we'll post it on the website and shout it from the mountaintops - or at least our newsletters! Stay tuned.
