Definition: Also known as Blackout Periods.

The dates on which certain fares or certain types of tickets are not permitted.

Blackout dates can also extend to issues like baggage or cargo restrictions (for example, there may be winter blackout dates on specific aircraft, not permitting animals to be accepted in the cargo hold).

Blackout dates often apply during peak travel periods or over holiday travel periods.
