Old Jun 6, 2018, 9:24 am
FlyerTalk Forums Expert How-Tos and Guides
Last edit by: Adam Smith
PLEASE NOTE THIS THREAD IS ONLY OPEN TO THOSE WHO HAVE (I) MADE AT LEAST 5 POSTS ON FLYERTALK AND (II) BEEN MEMBERS FOR AT LEAST 30 DAYS. SEE THIS POST FOR EXPLANATION.

A few FlyerTalkers with access to ExpertFlyer are willing to use their subscriptions to look up availability for fellow FTers. Please note that ExpertFlyer offers free 5-day trials, and subscriptions are reasonably priced at US$4.99 per month for a Basic account and US$9.99 per month (US$99.99 per year) for a Premium account; consider subscribing as opposed to posting in this thread.

If you would like to request availability, as long as you have been a FlyerTalk member for at least 30 days and have made at least 5 posts, please include in your post:
  • Route (e.g. YYC-YYZ)
  • Date (e.g. September 5)
  • Flight number (e.g. 142)

Note that EF searches are by route and by date (see this post for details).

Y0 on a BEH isn't as indicative of an oversell as it would be on a larger aircraft.

It was a couple so they needed two seats anyways! They ended up taking an FT style routing YYT-YHZ-YDF.

I probably would have tried to get YYT-YHZ-YUL-YYZ-YDF

Bizarre that it was showing Y0 in that case! Perhaps EF isnt as accurate with EVAS operated flights?

I cant imagine Im right on that though...

Availability shows how many seats they are willing to sell, not how many are physically available.

A bunch of people didn't make the flight.

It was fully booked earlier today.

BCD Availability Tool now only available to clients (not publicly free/available)

Some of you may know this, but updating this here... the BCD Availability is no longer publicly free. It's been recently updated, in January, as a client/vendor membership-only app.
Updating the wiki now.

Im looking for 2 eupgrade space to J on YVR-HNL between Dec 4-6. They are currently all waitlists so would love to see if any particular date is more likely than the others. If someone can help me check, that would be wonderful!
