Searches currently not working:
- Upgrades - AY, BA, EK, EY, IB, QR, VS

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.

Hello Experts,
Is the chrome extension or scripts available for Expert Flyer where it highlights the rows with available inventory on Award search ? I had it in my old laptop and can't remember how I got it ?

Hello,
first time Expert flyer user on this level. I'm looking a good city to star a trip to MIA on October (18.10.22-8.11.22). It seems there is a valid fare (INN0C6S4) on AA, BA and AY which would need space on I inventory. Then I go and see if there is space on those days and there is both on AA and BA (same flights but different flight numbers).
After I go and see from google flights or Matrix but its only giving me flights with C/D/R inventory and fare RNN0C6S2 which is 400 euro higher than INN0C6S4. I'm I doing something wrong or what?
I'm just looking a good starting city as my plan is to do something like BUD-LHR-MIA-LHR-HEL-XXX as I have done years now but it seems I can not find decent city to start.

If this was asked already, pardon me.
I searched for 'VS' but couldn't find what I was looking for.
I'm trying to book LAX-HND for ANA Suite F using VS miles. Seems like I have to manually search UA to find seat. Can EF do this for me if I pay for the service?
Thanks

Hi there - I apologize if this is a known issue and has been discussed before. I'm trying to search for FJ award availability on EF, but am always getting "No availability can be found for the date and class(es) specified", rather than a list of flights with no award seat, even on the days there are FJ flights on the route I'm searching for. For example:
Am I missing anything..?

We just did that same search and see the flight being returned, please try again.
You can use ExpertFlyer to search for ANA award inventory. It doesn't matter that you're using VS miles or another partners miles, we show partner inventory for ANA.

thanks. lastly, is it possible to create an alert that will cover a range of dates? i.e. rather than creating an alert for one specific flight, I'm looking for any (F) seat on any flight that becomes available between XX month and XX months or between days. Or is that too much strain on the server?

I am fairly new to EF. I am trying to find award availability on Iberia Airlines but no matter what dates I pick and what fare classes I choose I get "IB award inventory is temporarily unavailable due to an issue with our data provider. They are actively working to fix the issue. Thank you for your patience." Along with "No availability can be found for the date and class(es) specified." Even though I can go to AA or Iberia and confirm award availability.

Hi,
Is there any way to correct the flight date after purchasing a Seat Alert on Expert Flyer? Unfortunately the wrong date was inadvertently selected when I was setting up the Seat Alert and I didn't notice it until after I had completed the purchase. Or have I wasted my money and just have to buy a new alert?
