If you have the right tier / ticket type combination this looks like a reasonable op up possibility!

Thanks for checking for me, could you possibly help me out with analyzing this. If i am correct this indcates that economy had sold out and business has seats left? Also do you know what the percentage stands for? where it says 44%

I am looking into getting an EF subscription but wanted to ask from your experience, can you see how well flights are doing by the month? Meaning how well the loads have been for a particular flight for the month?

I appreciate all the help!

I think 44% is the on time figure and the 27m following it is the average minutes late, but I'm not a user so it needs someone to confirm this.

Yes, the availability indicates that the airline is not selling any economy seats, but plenty of business class seats are available for sale. This does not say anything about award availability, there is a separate EF query for that. But one could deduct that there is a possibility of operational upgrades (which depends on a combination of tier level and ticket type)

I always find it a bit cumbersome to copy / paste from EF on an iPad. The 44% comes from a column called 'frequency / reliability' from the description:

Frequency and Reliability

The Frequency denotes the days of the week that the particular flight operates. The Reliability is the On Time Percentage and the Average Delay in Minutes of the flight over the last two months. More detailed Flight Reliability Ratings can be found on the Travel Information page.


As far as your second question goes: There is no backwards capability as in looking for actual loads. If you want to get a feel for loads, you would need to interrogate the system on a daily basis and form a picture. I once did that for award availably on a route I was keen on. There is a possibility to save a query to help in this, but there is daily 'effort' involved in this.
If you are keen to learn more about EF, there is a 5 day free trial. Also, once you sign up, it is very easy to stop your subscription and restart it again, in other words you only pay the $9.99 for each month you want to use it. the risk is thus very small, relative to the wealth of information at your disposal.

That is certainly what has been mentioned before. Whether this is fact or educated guess I don’t really know. At the same time, you can’t ‘book’ such a thing, it has to be, well, ‘offered’. So do they ‘offer’ from the P bucket availability?

I think you’ve got your flight numbers mixed up. 770 is a DXB/CPT flight, 773 is CPT/DXB.

Assuming you want to go North on 4/4 and back to CPT on the 6th, it does not look good. You will be aware that there is no Z availability on any flights those days.
And 773 on the 4th is F2A1. 770 on the 6th even worse: F0A0

Yeah sorry meant what you mean , silly me ! Strange as EK are willing to sell me 8 tickets in F on 773 to DXB on 4th April and then 7 F tickets on the way back down on 770 ? Thanks thou, i appreciate it !
