A little more insight on what you are wanting to achieve would be helpful in the community helping you. Desired cabin, routing, stopovers for instance.

James,
It's DFW-DXB in business class, nonstop. This is available on other days. The problem is that most of the other days match up with the availability that I see on Qantas and ExpertFlyer. I created an alert for the D saver class on EK. I received the available alert and looked on Qantas and it appears bookable through Qantas but when I search that same availability on Alaska, it's not there. My question is if it is real availability or only available to Qantas or not really available at all.
