Availability in LY flights
Hi
The availability on LY flights used to look like C2 I2 D0 ... Y4 S4 M4 ...
That is a maximum of 2 in C, and of 4 in Y, even in completely empty
flights.
I've just noticed that currently in expertflyer.com it shows like in
most carriers with a limit of 9..
LY11:
F9 A9 P0
C9 I9 D9 Z5 R0 W0 X0
Y9 S9 M9 Q9 B9 K9 U9 H9 N9 V9 J0 T9 L0 G0 O0
Although it doesn't improve X availability more information is always
welcome..

The advantage is that if it shows less than 9 then you have a good idea as to exactly how many seats really are free, whereas before you had no idea until they were almost all gone (in business and first they never had more than 2 free showing).

The system is still not 100%. For example, in ExpertFlyer: LY 213 on 1st September shows:
C8 I8 D4 Z8 R3
... but there are only 5 seats free in business class.
LY 316 on 5th September shows:
F8 A8
... but there are only 7 seats free in First Class.

It is never a good idea to use seat maps as any indicator of availability. However if you must, be sure to include the Blocked seats as those are not assigned to passengers yet. If you do, you'll see the numbers match as LY 213 as 3 Blocked seats and LY 316 has 1.

If you do the search that 4X-EL did in post #6, you see F9 for LY317 and C4 for LY315, whether or not you specify LY in the search.

Yes I did, but we need you to tell us the exact search you are doing to get those results. Send [email protected] an email with the exact search critera that's in the blue colored section of the results page, or better yet a full screen shot of the results page.
