The replacement (or best equivalent yet) is Mathais's (smile67's) Availability Tool. He runs aeroplan.de which is what seatmap.com front ended into. You can check out all the banter in the Miles Buzz at

You can download the tool at:

Setup is in German, but I think most of us know which buttons are yes and which are continue.

Thank you for posting this. I downloaded/installed this program (yes, even though the installation was in German). Once installed, it is in English. This is the first time I have been able to access fare codes and availability for the airlines. IT IS PRETTY COOL.

I have a mileage run this weekend (CLE-DTW-MKE-MSP-MCI and back for $247.) Most of the flights are showing "P4 F4 Y4 B4 M4 H4 Q4 V4 L4 T4"... I am assuming this means that there are 4 P-First Class, and 4 F-First Class available? I am OnePass Silver, so I am hoping most of the 8 segments will be upgraded to First...

Does anyone have any hints/tips on how to interpret these fare availability charts for trying to guess Elite Upgrade-ability?

Please advise. Thanks.
