Aside from looking at what cabin the fare books into vs the booking class/fare basis code, no. The GDSs don't really allow that kind of search. FareCompare can do it because they get direct fare feeds from ATPCO, however that is unfortunately cost prohibitive.

I happened to look at UA 628 on 5/25. As it happens, this flight number is applied to three consecutive segments (at least two of which are actually different aircraft). There is no View Extended Comments. Does this only apply to single-sector flights? Is there a way to limit the flight status search to a particular sector?
The View Comments uses GDS data and GDS flight status generally only works for flights +/- 1 day from today. So for a flight for 5/25, the option isn't available.

Thanks! Just keep in mind that the inventory can go from 3 to 0, as an example, without going to 2 or 1 first. One use would be to see when an inventory class starts to come down from it's maximum value (e.g. less then 7 or 9).
