ExpertFlyer also has a 5-day free trial so feel free to sign up and see if we can help.



Correct. ExpertFlyer has direct access to the airline reservation systems (GDSs) which allows us to show unique data and offer services like Flight Availability and Seat Alerts. It also means that ExpertFlyer isn't subject to the limitations of the sources that other services may screen scrape from. For example "Sabre:FS", which is really FlightStats.com which is free, doesn't show AA availability and doesn't show any flight data beyond 299 days in the future. ExpertFlyer shows both.
Looks like I'm going to drop KVS and use Expertflyer.com Premium exclusively.
