Seats available? Is there a web site?
 

Is there a web site where you can see if there are seats available in the different booking-classes ( F,H,B,M,V,Q....)like the travel agents can when they go into the sabre or amadeus system?

UA's online reservation system provides this info (and I am sure many others too).

auch auf der Lufthansa und der Swissair-site finde ich unter den einzelnen Flügen die Sitzzahl Verfügbarkeit pro Buchungsklasse.

But they wil only display UA or LH no othter (non alliance) airlines?

you may also try http://www.thetrip.com...i think they show availability of different fare classes too...

I tried UA but I could not find where tehy display the seat with each class. please give me more directions!

thanks!

WWW.BIZTRAVEL.COM has a pretty extensive on-line reservation system with access to all airlines. I've haven't purchased from them yet, so no opinion, but the itineraries come back with fare class listed.

Also, a friend of mine swears by the Prodigy on-line booking system. I've not seen it, but it sounds a lot like a consumer Sabre system.

also hier das UA-Beispiel:

- www.ual.com
- shortcuts
- reservations
- creating a new account

und dann den gewünschten flug eingeben: daten, zeiten, bevorzugte fluggesellschaften (UA wird immer automatisch mitangezeigt)

- auswählen (und bei den UA-Flügen, inkl. code-share) wird pro Buchungsklasse die im Computer der UA zur Verkaufsverfügung gestellten Plätze angezeigt - dies lässt allerdings keine Rückschlüsse für allfällig erhältliche Gratis- und Upgrademöglichkeiten zu.

ok? viel vergnügen.

Thank you everybody!!!
Vielen Dank !!!
But the systems you quoted are still not as specific and easy as the sabre etc.

EasySabre has a web site, wwww.easysabre.com

If you just copy pgupta011's info on the sabre-website (thank you) leave the 4th w (wwwww) away - it is obvious, but the copy-technique did just "beat" me.

Oops, thank you Rudi. I should have just written easysabre.com which most browsers accept these days.
