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.

It means the airline isn't allowing seat assignments in the cabin so it isn't returning a seat map.

Not sure if anyone else is seeing this but I've had some issues with the log-in with Facebook on ExpertFlyer. Tried on Edge, Safari, and Chrome. Developer tool console shows:

Hi, I realize this is a small-ish amount of people who need this service, but I'm going to ask anyway as I suspect timatic SHOULD have this info -- is there a way to see BN(O), British National (Overseas) visa / travel requirements?
It's a second class of British citizenship that doesn't confer as wide-ranging visa-free travel as a full British subject, but one with a separate passport nonetheless:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Britis...seas)_passport
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_r...nals_(Overseas)
... and while Wikipedia is great, it's not exactly something airline agents see / rely on!
Appreciate any help into this.

Just sharing it for anyone who might be registering with ExpertFlyer for the sole purpose to find Iberia award availability (like I did an hour ago): it appears like Iberia just has been removed from the list of airlines to be selected on ExpertFlyer for the award availability search. Iberia award information does not appear to be displayed on ExpertFlyer. So in case you are looking like myself to use your Iberia Avios to fly business with Iberia, you might have to manually check on Iberia.com or try to find a different service.

Hi everyone, found a couple of 'fare basis' codes on expertflyer while searching for a paid ticket. Is calling the airline and providing them the fare basis code, still the only way, or prefferred way to book? Had the ET susbscription long time ago, got confused and let the sub expire. Signed up again yesterday and want to make sure I am using it as supposed to. Thanks in advance!

If your goal is just to find the cheapest fare for a certain flight, Google Flights will suit you better. EF is more about finding out why a cheap fare is not available for your desired travel dates, and what you need to change in your itinerary to get the cheap fare (if at all possible).

Just having a fare basis is not enough. You must meet all of the requirements and restrictions in the fare. You must be eligible to buy that fare. There must be appropriate inventory available to use that fare on the flights you want to take. All of these items can be researched on ExpertFlyer; it involves more work than just finding a fare basis you like.

Hi, I just paid for an Expert Flyer membership. I'm trying to find award availability in July 2023 on UA 100 which is a flight from SYD to IAH, however it's not showing up even in the Flight Timetable results.
Like the flight info hasn't been loaded? It has Ending date in the timetable results of Feb 9th 2023.

I am getting a Captcha-type verification every 3 queries or so. Today is the first time I've ever seen this (I've been a user since 2006), and it's happened maybe 6-7 times. I am using my home internet connection with no VPN, like I often do. Are others seeing this? Is there something new?
