Expert Flyer shows D7 but AA were only seeing 1 seat.
Is there any other way of checking availability other than just calling AA to check it every now and then?
Just wanted to provide an update on this as a few people had commented.
I noticed today that the aircraft type had changed on Flyer Talk from Airbus 330 to Boeing 777, so I said I'd chance calling AA RTW desk again in case it opened up availability and bingo, she was seeing loads of availability, which was in line with Expert Flyer.
Not sure what that means to be honest in terms of strategy for finding D seats, but at least I'm sorted now!
