Availibity-tool for LH fare classes - where?

Hi everybody,

due to 2 expiring UA paper-LH SWUs I still have I´m planing a MR to BKK.

Can anyone please tell me where to find an availibility-tool for fare-classes on LH for particular dates / flights so I can guess my chances to receive the upgrades.

Thanks in advance,

F.R.

I found Expertflyer.com to be a very reliable tool.
Cheers, Stefan

I actually have the same question as the original poster. So far, I used www.der.de to take a look at seat inventory. Unfortunately, they seem to have turned off that functionality.

The flyaow-tool does not cover all airlines (e.g., Condor not covered). Any idea of another alternative?

DE flights are not available through Worldspan (that's what that FlyAOW link is using), but are available through Amadeus or Apollo, e.g.:

[KVS Availability Tool - Amadeus: AUA]
Code:
FRA  Frankfurt Metro / Frankfurt Int'l DE = FRA HHN [EDDF]
YYZ  Toronto Pearson Int'l ON CA [CYYZ]
THU  27 Jul 2006

Carrier   Flight From Depart    To   Arrive    A/C  St Availability
--------- ------ ---- --------- ---- --------- ---- -- -------------------------------- 
DE        4078   FRA  15:05     YYZ  17:35     763  0  J9 C9 D9 Y9 B9 M9 H9 T9 V9 K3 L3 W0 G0 Q0 N0 S9

It might well provide an excellent service, but the inclusion of SABENA and SWISSAIR in its airline list doesn't exactly inspire confidence ...

...but that doesn't show availability for award classes like "I", or am I missing something?

AFAIK there is currently no way to find availability for award buckets on the net.

To find out the availability of O,I,X inventory you have to do a dummy award booking on M&M.com. It works even if you have no miles, but you need a active M&M account (3000 award miles earned in the last 3 years)

You can also check I availability by signing up for an account at ANA. Use that to log into their awards system and they will give you all *A availability, by cabin, for whatever date and routing you put in. It is amazing.
