If I am looking for delta GUC upgrade availability for AF FLIGHT, which one shows the availability? Is it Business classic awards or Business flex awards for elites?

Why don’t I see the option “ Business upgrade with DL SWU/ global upgrades” when I choose Air France as the airline? I can this option when I choose KLM.

It won't be C as that's just for FlyingBlue elites

If you want to see AF Z inventory you can see it via the Flight Availability search or add Z as an Other Class to the award search when searching another defined award class.

Before I spend the money for EF, I have a question that I think is related.

This winter I want to go to/from London on UA (or a partner) from WAS. Award flight costs are quite high when performing general searches. However, for example, last week I found a return via BOS for 1/2 the miles.

EF can be set to monitor a group of flights in a date range for, say IAD-LHR, EWR-LHR, BOS-LHR, etc.?

Thanks!

Dear ExpertFlyer,

I have a confirmed booking for a routing AAA-BBB-CCC / DDD-BBB-AAA with LX. Between each flight there are several days or even weeks (i.e. stopovers not layovers). I would like to move forward the flight DDD-BBB one day and the flight BBB-AAA one week back. How can I check the availability for a certain booking class either for rebooking or a new booking? I guess I can't search for single segments, as they are married segments? And LX doesn't offer the same fare classes for rebooking or a new booking. Thanks.

You can create Flight Alerts but each alert is for a specific flight segment/date, but you can have up to 200 alerts active at a time.
By "check" to you mean monitor? You can create a Flight Alert for them. Are you sure that married segments apply considering they are stopovers vs connections? If the flights are priced individually, it's not married availability.

They are definitely priced together. DDD-BBB on its own is much more expensive than DDD-BBB-AAA. It's a (long) stopover allowed by the fare rules. Yes, I meant "monitor" the flight for booking class availability.

Edit: maybe it was just a case of a suboptimal agent. I called again today (suprisingly I ended up in Basel!) and it was no problem to rebook to a day earlier.

The fares being priced together is not the same as married availability. Because there are multi-day gaps, if I understood your post correctly, between the flights, the availability searches are separate and therefore not subject to married segment logic and so would work with EF alerts. Glad to hear it worked out!

Ok, thank you. Before your explanation and the successful rebooking with a new agent, the only way to make sense of EF availability and agent availability inconsistency was married segments.

I’m sure this has been asked up thread, but does anyone know when the BA awards checker will be back and working? Seems to have been down for a while…

This is more of a feature request...

When I'm on https://www.expertflyer.com/flightAlertList.do and have switched to the "Seat Alerts" tab it would be really useful to have a link to the seat map for the configured flight + cabin of each alert.

That's for the suggestion, we'll take a look at that for a future improvement.

Small tweak request:

There are actually a few cases where Swiss Airlines opens up partner space for first class award redemptions in the O bucket. Currently, ExpertFlyer only allows you to search using the I bucket for Swiss Airlines awards. Manually adding the O bucket to the search does not work. It would be great if you could add support for the O bucket here for the cases where it does open up.

Added, let us know if there are any issues.

Hello, can anyone help me checking this: I’m booked (X fare) on QR128 MXP-DOH on October 28th and I would like to know economy-business availability. I’m QR Privilege Gold and hoping for an upgrade…
Thanks in advance! :-)
