ExpertFlyer.com Question
 

Yahoo or CNN (I forget which) had an article about ways to get lower priced F or C class tickets, and recommended joining ExpertFlyer.com for $5 per month.

Can anyone confirm that this is a good way to achieve this result?

To the extent that EF is a good tool for finding fare availability in certain buckets (including those for discount premium tickets), it can certainly be used as a means to get lower-priced tickets -- but this functionality is really no different than what you could get from similar websites that don't charge the $5 per month, such as www.seatcounter.com.

The best functionality of EF (and the reason why I subscribe) is the ability, for many airlines, to see hidden buckets -- namely, upgrade and award classes -- that make it easy to see availability without making repeated calls to the airline.

Just to clarify what was stated in the story, in order to see fare information (along with other options) you need the Premium service which is $9.99/mo or $99.99/year.

If you are still interested in learning more, we suggest you click on the Service Plans and Rates link at the top of our home page.

I'd like to know what members on expertflyer.com enjoy most about the website. I'm a member of EF and mainly use it to check seat availability. I'm questioning whether to re-subscribe this coming year.
Many times the "C" seat inventory does not load for UA and this is what I want to see most.

I use EF most frequently to search for upgrade and award availability.

Not buzz related, so I'm closing it here.
