Seat Maps: we're currently not able to show seat maps for flights departing within the next 24 hours for several airlines: DL, BA, QR , ANA, B6, & JL
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.

You would add your billing information on the My Account page and then set your account to renew on the Subscription tab.

As there is no price difference between the gift certificates and the Yearly Premium subscription, why would you need to? It is against our Terms of Use to create multiple accounts and any duplicate accounts will be deleted.

Is there any prospect of the amount of advertising and the number of sponsor offers forced on paying customers being reduced? It really doesn't create a very "premium" experience.

You can opt-out of both. There is a opt-out link at the bottom of all emails sent and if you would like to block the display ads we recommend the ....... Plus browser plugin.

Thanks for the quick reply.

So far, I haven't been able to find a way to activate an ad blocker on EF without being punished by screens claiming that "Suspicious Activity" has been detected and setting Catcha tests, rather than just allowing me to get on and use the product. Blocking scripts from Facebook also causes EF to not play nice.

Also, the Hertz ad on the main.do page consists of five or six elements that are served from expertflyer.com and therefore require individual blocking. The "sign up to FaceBook" text link is even harder to get rid of.

You shouldn't be blocking anything that's served from the ExpertFlyer.com domain, and that's not what a standard ad blocker does anyway. The banner ads are not served by our domain. If you need more help than email us directly.

If you let a Premium account lapse to Free, for whatever reason, any Flight Alerts will be paused until a Premium subscription is (re)-established.

Okay, but that's not the way it looks, e.g.: http://www.expertflyer.com/include/i...rtz_banner.png

We are referring to the banner ads at the very top and bottom of the page, an ad blocker will block those. The Hertz promotion graphic is just on the main page and part of the site itself. If you really dislike looking at it for the few moments between when you login and go to another page, you can use an ad blocker to also block the specific image URL you posted.

Is it possible to set an alert for a journey with a stopover? I'd like to try and get an alert on a journey where there are some married segment restrictions but the alert function only seems to work for the individual sectors.

I'm sorry we do not support married segments for alerts at this time.

When I search for Base fares from MIL to GRU like this:

I get 248 results:


None of the results shows AD fare SLEAXZ5E (R$732,02). But it shows base fares more expensive than that one.
When I search for the same previous data, just adding the info of the base fare SLEAXZ5E separately, the system shows it without any problem:



My question is, I know the system shows a maximum of 250 results to searches that don't specify airlines. Why it isn't showing the lowest one first? For example, the AD base fare is lower than AT base fare. There is a sequence of airlines it searches first? That's why it didn't show AD results? Or this is random?
