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

Same here: AA seat maps mostly error out with the same message, but occasionally work.

Interesting, I've only tried about 20 times. I know there's 0-1 seat left so waste of time but it's still fun to look.

Inconsistent for me. I have 2 flights in a few hours, and only sometimes will the seat map come up.

ExpertFlyer really needs to address this as it also prevents the seat alert function from working.

Clarity on expertflyer availability query

I booked the first half of a reasonably comprehensive DONE4 six months ago. The start date is February 2024, commencing in Japan and travelling through North and South America, Europe then back to Sydney for 2 months, before spending October and November in Asia, finishing in NRT at the end of November. I have been checking Expertflyer for D seats on 24 November SGN-NRT but JAL and Malaysian are displaying no availability in D out of SGN at all - plenty of availability for everything else? Can anyone tell me what this means? Apologies if this info is already available in here somewhere - I seem to be woefully inefficient at doing searches....

24-Nov-2024 is 361 days in the future (as of today - 29-Nov-2023)
It might be that JL and MH have not yet loaded their availabilities, so far in the future.

In Experflyer I'm seeing both airlines have plenty of availability in the days before the 24th

For me too. I received a reply to my query at expertflyer.com this morning indicating that they had addressed the issue.

URGENT: Expert Flyer Facebook login down

It appears that the Facebook login option is down. See my screenshot below. I tried logging in with the username and password but it says that since my account was created with Facebook I must use the Facebook login. Does anybody have a Support email address to send to EF? I tried Support at expert flyer .com but it bounced.
