Why am I not seeing flights operated by the others.
My searches were all departing on June 26th 2015 and returning July 19th 2015. I tried the multi day and the 5 week option as well as the fixed date. Results were all the same, no partner flights.
I searched ORD, DTW, JFK, MSP and IAD all to CDG and none showed an Air France option.
I searched ORD, DTW, JFK, MSP and IAD all to AMS and none showed a KLM option.
I searched ORD, DTW, JFK, MSP and IAD all to LHR and none showed an Virgin Atlantic option.
I also searched LAX and SFO to ICN and neither showed a Korean Air option.
Doe anyone have advice as to why many see partner flights, yet I am unable to see any?
Thanks in advance!
Are you searching for award tickets or trying to pay with money for plane tickets? Partner award space is only available at low level.
You're also apparently searching for some non existing flights: MSP had AF service to CDG last summer but I'm not sure whether this summer's seasonal flights are loaded, although they should be. All of the MSP-AMS nonstops are DL operated but available as KLM codeshares. For MSP-LHR, again the flight is DL operated, but might have Virgin codeshares although AFAIK Virgin has never served MSP at all.
Many of these partners show some award and upgrade inventory buckets on EF, so you might be able to save some time doing searches there, or even verifying schedules there. Of course, DL no longer permits EF to display any DL data.
