Additional SkyTeam now on ExpertFlyer
 

We’re happy to announce that additional airline Award & Seat Map availability has just been added to ExpertFlyer for these SkyTeam airlines:

Award Availability & Seat Maps:

Aeroflot:
Business - Award (O)
Economy - Award (X)

Korean Air:
First – Award (A)

Air Europa Lineas Aereas:
Business - Classic Award (P)
Business - Flex Award (I)
Economy - Classic Award (A)
Economy - Flex Award (B)

Alitalia:
Business - Award (Z)
Economy - Award (U)

I hope that the award availability for Air Europa has been added in a different way. As far as I can see, the list should be as follows:

Air Europa Lineas Aereas:
Business - Classic Award (P)
Business - Flex Award (I)
Economy - Classic Award (A)
Economy - Flex Award (B)


BTW, I am a happy ExpertFlyer customer. Actually, I just checked by ExpertFlyer's fare information feature that B and I are indeed Economy and Business classes, respectively.

I have just checked it. It has been implemented correctly on ExpertFlyer. The list above just contains a typo.

Seeing KE F award availability is a good sign (I was surprised how much was showing up when I took a look yesterday), but it's not terribly useful to most EF members in the US, including me (I just joined EF today). That's because post-merger DL is the major US-based SkyTeam member, and it does not have access to First Class awards on Korean Air. I've heard that is so because of a SkyTeam rule requiring programs from which a true Int'l First Class award is claimed to also have true Int'l First Class, which DL does not have. If that's correct, AF and KE can cross-redeem in F, but DL SkyMiles members cannot.

For a very real value added for DL SM members, EF would get access to Korean Air's Business award inventory = D fare bucket.

FWIW, I'm a big fan of Korean Air and consider it highly under-rated.

Yes, sorry about that. Typo corrected.

We took a look and couldn't see the D (Business) or U (Economy) award classes for KE.

Also, we just found and added award classes for Alitalia so hopefully that will help.

+1, from another EF subscriber.

Yes D fare would be awesome

Not useful for Delta SM Members
 

I saw A availability, called delta and nothing. Called Aeromexico and nothing.

"A" inventory on which carrier?

Any chance we'll be getting KL award availability anytime soon?

Have seatmaps for 777s been fixed? I usually can only see one aisle and the corresponding seats.
