There is 3 other business categories, all showing some available seats already tho.
There is 2 J seats available on the 12 of July via aeroplan, so i created the same alert for the 12th, and then did a quick check on experflyer, and it said no availability....
Any help is appreciated, cheers!
AC releases much more award availability - especially in business class - to Aeroplan members than to partner airlines.
Afaik EF checks for partner award availability, so it's only of limited use when trying to check for AC award availability using Aeroplan miles.
EF showing 2 seats on PER-NRT on NH882. late march / april 2020
Checked on united/krisflyer only showing 1 seat.
phantom?
I'm not entirely sure what data source the EF website uses, but NH releases more award availability to is own members than partner airlines. So if EF uses the NH website as its data source, that would explain the discrepancy.
