To search AA upgrades:
- Use the Award & Upgrade tool
- Only search for individual segments (set the "Connection Preference" drop-down to "Direct/Non-Stop only"). Flight results that are part of a connection won't show the upgrade version of C or A inventory because AA only files upgrade inventory as individual, not married, segments. (Married segments show revenue inventory instead of upgrade inventory.)
- To avoid confusion, check the "Exclude Codeshares" box, as AA awards and upgrades are not valid on codeshares.

You don't know how the BA system is working on their end. BA doesn't know the POSs that ExpertFlyer has or on what reservation system we have them. It could be that BA is only sharing the Israeli POS with specific travel agencies that they have contracts with (EF is not a travel agency).

Tried searching the past four months of posts here, but didn’t see an answer to my question.
Now that UA United has moved to “dynamic” pricing for awards, how and what can one track with EF to see if a saver award comes available, whatever that means, if one is tracking from a higher priced award and wants to rebook for lower pricing?
Can EF do something to track changes from either a non “saver” class to a new saver class?

There are numerous reports on UA threads of "JI" being the new (Post -11/15/19) "saver" rate. For example:
"You are confirmed in XN class on this flight and have requested a change to JI class." See post #740:

Well, it seems like UA communications suggest that JI appears to be a code worthy of note. And is XN not a saver code reserved for UA credit card holders and elites?

Doing the following search on EF:
Iberia - U inventory award - LAX-MAD on 09/09/20, shows 0 on EF, not available on AA.com, 2 available on IB.com, 2 available on BA.com. Does Iberia not share all the availability with EF? Thanks for any info.

If it's also not available on AA.com then it isn't an issue with EF, it's an issue with how Iberia is publishing the data to all outside partners (BA is the same parent as IB).

I have just paid for a premium account on EF and searched for Flight Status here: https://www.expertflyer.com/air/flightStatus.do
I want to know the reason for a delay on each sector but either I am doing something wrong or it doesn't have the data from TAP
The flights are both Saturday 2 Nov 2019.

TFS-LIS TP1127
I can see the flights on the status page but can't see how I find the reason for the delay
