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.

Well finally got a response from expertflyer:
"Hi, thank you for your email. We sincerely apologize for the recent inconvenience caused by a system error that led to a mass amount of alerts being sent out. Our team had to switch to a new database, which then caused this glitch. You may see alerts that have a six-hour difference, you may see alerts that have expired, and you may see alerts that were previously deleted. We advise you to double-check existing alerts you have to ensure they are entered (and showing) correctly. If they are not showing the correct information, please resubmit them. Thank you for your continued support and patience.
Thank you,
The ExpertFlyer.com Team "

Still having to manually check seat alerts, and found one this morning that wasn't sent through, again.
Back to the free version. I see no use paying for a service, where a major portion of their service is alerting people to changes in the itinerary, when they can't provide that service.

I have an alert on a QF flight which never fired when the flight moved from scheduled to "Cancelled". If I click on the alert it says it has been checked and is still valid -- for a Cancelled flight. I reported this but no response from the Helpdesk.
It is all a general shambles. On their entry page they even have a link to a blog which does not exist.
The alerts are a nice-to-have for me (I appreciate others use these a lot). But what I do need is the detailed fare bucket availability for RTW planning. Is there another tool I could move to?

iOS app gone?
I have the app on my phone, but when trying to get a new user setup, we can't find the app in the Apple app store. App still allows me to log in. My thread searching skills didn't come up with anything on this. Any ideas what happened?

Neither schedule nor flight alerts were designed to alert on cancelations, just changes to published times.
