NCP is so unflexible and uncooperative. CP travels quite a ways to see kids and she will not budge. Now mind you she doesnt deny visitation but she does not allow anymore than what the court order says.
She alwasy has "plans" or something. Her excuses are lousy. Are we basically just SOL?

She's not obligated to offer/grant anything other than what the CO states.

I'll tell you in my case 18 months went by, and according to the temporary order I was only permitted to see my son a few hours a week. The delay was due to the judge being ill, no other judge would hear my case in order to grant a modification. When my case came to trial I was questioned by the GAL as to why I felt the father should have allowed our son to spend more time with me. My answer, "Because it is the custodial parents obligation to act in the child's best interest at all times, especially when doing so does not violate a current court order." My judge just happened to agree. By denying our son additional time above and beyond the order with a loving, capable parent who had the time to share with her child he dug himself a grave. Then lost custody. Granted this does not happen often, and my situation was unique. But if the NCP wants additonal time they can file for it, and if you're the CP you should recheck your motives and consider the obligation you have to promote the relationship between your children and the NCP.
