Anyway I am looking at availability on Swiss (LX) and getting very different results on each. Just one example:

7/29/2011: JFK-ZRH. EF shows 2 seats on both LX15 and LX17 in F (O class). KVS shows FS-
7/30/2001: ZRH-BKK. EF shows 2 seats on LX180. KVS shows FS-

Pretty much all the time I see O class on EF, I see FS- for same number of seats on KVS.

Anyone know who's right?

If you're looking at the ANA data, both, as the ANA data is what inventory LX is willing to give to *A partners, whereas ExpertFlyer shows the LX award data from the Miles & More redemption point of view, which usually has more inventory available.
