Current methods to check fare/booking class availability:
BCD Travel flight availability tool (free)currently down- Expertflyer.com $99 / year
- KVS Fees Vary
- Travel Agent Friends
If you are requesting flight load / class availability, please provide the following:
1. Actual travel date (don't say tomorrow, or similar, as that is ambiguous given the global flyertalk membership)
2. Departure and arrival airport codes
3. Flight number
Thanks!

Bit of a weird one as I have GDS Access, can anyone explain this to me? BA added flights to Thessaloniki - and i'm booked on this Sunday's. However, was looking at potential POUG Upgrade - but despite the flight being new & quiet, the entire J Class cabin has been closed out since it opened for sale

Can anyone advise why? Maybe they added the flight due to a big group business class booking?!?
It's not that they are making it Y only - the return sector is available in both classes (was J4 yesterday)

While I will not speculate, it may well be sold out: EF is currently showing all seats in rows 2–8 as well as 1A occupied with row 9 (last of CE) blocked. Rows 10–12 are blocked except for 11DEF taken, allowing for moving the curtain back.

Great thanks for that! The flight was almost loaded at J0 - it only went live this week! So there is a back story, but we'll never know! Now all I need is Avios availability to open up for either of the 2 Saturday flights, and i'll look at going a day earlier!

can some kind person do an availability check on expertflyer for me please.
BA815. CPH to LHR on the 27th December.. prices are high. Wondered if its due to high demand or just high pricing over the festive period. Many thanks for the help.

Not that it matters, but I think it's high pricing because that's what it is.

BA249 to Rio
Hi - could someone with access to Expertflyer check BA249 LHR to Rio (GIG) and see if there are any seats for booking for 15 Dec Tuesday please? My Friday flight next week was cancelled, and they offered me Tuesday, Thursday, or Saturday; but the Tuesday flight does not appear on BA.com nor Google flights... Does anyone have experience with a similar situation?
Thank you.
Thank you.

Something went wrong with the communication there, there is no BA249 on Tuesday 15 December 2020. Perhaps they meant Monday 14 December. I don't think it was cancelled recently either.
