AC Booking Class Availability
Hi All,

Is there a free tool to check booking class availability now that fightstats has removed this feature?

Not free, but KVS or ExpertFlyer are probably the two most widely known tools.

There are no more free tools for checking fare class availability.

ExpertFlyer is browser based so works easily on MACs/ PCs and also has an IOS App.

Their mobile site when you use a phone is always very good for this. Better than the app IMO.

ExpertFlyer has a mobile site? I wonder why I've never seen it. I'm always struggling with zooming in and out on the full site on my iPhone.

hmm, mine always goes to mobile mode right away. Sometimes I have to enable the full site to access some of the other features more easily.

Check your browser settings! lol. Yes, and the mobile site is great for 95% of what you need on the go. If you are using chrome mobile on iPhone you can always request the desktop site if needed.

... and at last EF does not screen scrape list KVS does! Read the ongoing KVS thread before 'contributing' to their cause

OK Thanks. I will re-activate my EF membership. I only used it for fare buckets and cancelled when flightstats was free. But alas...

Depending on how much you use EF, they do have a monthly membership which does not auto-renew I think the EF dude said... so if you do not use if for a month you do not get charged I think...
