How do you find so many empty flights?

I guess I fly routes no one wants to fly. Like ATL-DTW and ATL-SFO.

You must fly at times no one wants.

4PM on a Friday. Guess I can't blame people, I'd rather be home by then too.

You mean home isn't on a Delta jet?

Yup, nothing new there, and less elites aren't going to help any when MQDs kick in either. Its still going to be V0, and DL is going to be pushing FCM even more to try to sell those seats for cheap

Word! We will be fleeced once more. Just because there are less DM's in the game does not mean that we'll get our upgrades any earlier. Here in SAT, I often miss all windows, although not a single F seat was sold at T-24. BTW, did someone already investigated whether M's will be cheaper beginning with March, 1st?

I investigated it using only the pattern of recent events and my investigation led me to conclude that you are dreaming.

It would be helpful to know the routing. Otherwise your post is fairly worthless.

I'm flying to SEA this weekend. No upgrades available at the 5 day window, although the flights had 12/12, 15/16, 21/26 and 12/16 F seats open.

Upgrades for the first two flights did clear about 3 1/2 days out and they cleared en-masse. CR9 went to 12 F open to 3. 738 went from 15 F open to 4.

Java - is that your own creation or is there somewhere on EF to get that display? I find myself toggling between awards availability and flight availability.

My own creation... Though EF makes it easy to search for availability and then toggle over to Upgrade inventory with a single click.
