Whether it's cancelled seats going back onto the system, or just additional seats opening up when flights are not full I don't know.
Good advice re setting an Expertflyer alert, and if you don't have an account with them just PM me the details and I'll set the alert for you.
I will speak to him and get back to you. I assume you'll need his current flight, but what else? Matmid number? Name?
Thanks
