When I told United that this is conflicting with my source (ExpertFlyer), the CSR said that it just opened. Which I find difficult to believe (a random opening while EF still says D0)

Does Expertflyer show all revenue inventory fare bucket availability? What could be the explanation?

If you are referring to TAM flight 8085, then the problem is that UA doesn't directly codeshare that flight, therefore we don't display UA's view of availability for that flight. Looking at the TAM view of availability isn't really valid since you're making the reservation thru UA and not TAM. UA's view of D inventory may be different. Please email us if you have any other questions at [email protected]
