Due to American now having different A and C class inventory for paid fares vs upgrades, we have worked with AA to be able to show you both versions on EF
  • As of now, the default Flight Availability and Award & Upgrade search will show the "upgrade" version of A/C
  • We are going to make a change so the Flight Availability search shows the paid version of A/C by default, however for now the workaround to see it is to change the POS to non-USA or to use the Don't Show Interline Connections options which uses a different system and will show the paid inventory A/C classes. When we make the default change we'll post here again, likely sometime in November as it will take a bit of programing.
  • Flight Alerts for A or C will always be for the upgrade inventory version as those classes are marked as Award/Upgrade classes internally.
A little quick on the draw there, eh enviroian? Sure sounds like, despite some changes on the back end, EF remains as useful for finding upgrade inventory as before.
