AI availability on ExpertFlyer

I have been trying to look for Air India flight AI101 availability on Expert Flyer but both the award search screen and flight availability screen do not show the flight at all.
I am trying to find T class availability to make a date change for a family member. I figured I could just set up an alert but this doesn't seem possible. Any help is appreciated.

The problem is EF doesn't show class availability for AI.

That is not correct. ExpertFlyer does show AI fare class inventory if you specify AI in the airline search as the only airline. As such the alerts will work.

It’s working now but earlier this morning was showing an error when I searched for AI only. Forget what it said but something on the lines of “unable to display data”.

And of course, if it isn’t the only airline it still doesn't show class inventory.

Correct, making it the only airline tells the system to get AI data from a reservation system they aren't currently fighting with and still displays their data.

I have too, a long time ago. I thought it was the GDS issue that caused this problem. Apparently it is... but there's a "work around".
