How do you get the flight status for a flight that far out? I was trying to check Cable Picker and it didn't work for me yesterday.

Anyone want to hazard a guess on this? I'm flying EWR => IAH =>...

Now showing Z9 ZN9 V1, 15/39 booked after being P6 and 12/39 booked earlier in the week. About 6 weeks out, feels like chances are holding steady!

I guess I'm going mad! :) After a couple days it's back to Z9 ZN9. I wonder if it has to do with day of week, maybe more business class travel is purchased Wed/Thurs.

EWR -> AMS R5 but no Saver Business

So I'm looking at UA 70 from EWR to AMS on Friday, 2/16 (before President's Day Weekend), and it's showing R4. However, there is no Saver Business Class open, which in my experience is usually...

Thanks FT!

That's what I thought, but the M+ agent told me that it wasn't because of the fare. Sadly, I'm not surprised.

Just flew GlobalFirst on the 772 and then 744 SIN-HKG-SFO. I'll echo the comments that the seat might be the most comfortable seat I've flown in the air.

I was at EWR yesterday

And it was indeed a disaster. Rolling delays and cancels due to thunderstorms from about 3:30pm to 6pm. About 90% of the flights on the board were delayed or canceled, including UA 436 from EWR to...

First principles:
