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.

No error message, just it made a forced logout and now you cant press sign in when the username and password is entered. Same issue as a few months back. The full www desktop and mobile version works ok.

Is EF having issues with AA awards? Have a trigger for AA C availability in September RT, and last night both directions flagged for having availability, but chatted with AA and there really were none. Sure enough, this morning checked and it said 0. So I set the alerts back up. Tonight, around the same time, BAM, alerted again and EF is showing 7 available, but I suspect once again it's phantom. Kind of annoying all the false positives.....

Update: chatted with AA and once again, it's really not there....

I am having a similar issue with EF, but with upgrade availability space (A) in July. Twice EF has sent me alerts about finding availability. Checked with EP desk and no space found. Also checked on EF after getting email alert and sure enough it shows 0 availability.

Seat alerts on Android still not working since last 10days or so, anyone have any updates if it will ever be fixed ?

I have same error trying to sign in as posted above. Also if you try to reset password it says can't connect.

Expert flyer did email me some months ago saying they were no longer going to support 'seat alerts' app, but the app did continue to work on Android until just recently.

The seat alerts on Android working again, thankfully. I was missing it. The web interface which still worked, is just not the same and I found myself not bothering looking at all.

Glad it's working again.

ExpertFlyer's timetable search function has suddenly become essentially unusable for me when using "Search by Arrival/Departure City." Even when filtering for codeshare flights and direct flights, results for every city on every date I've tried for the last few days are showing all kinds of crazy connections with ground freight service--for example, this is for a random date ex-MXP:

I emailed customercare @ expert flyer and received the following: "Hi, thank you for your email. We have recently updated our Timestables. The information shown reflects the data we have access to. We regret any inconvenience this may have caused. Feel free to reach out if you have any additional questions!

Thank you,

Which is not what I would call a helpful resolution.

The fact that they can't spell the word "timetable" does not inspire confidence...

What a useless response...

The response makes sense. My guess is they are using a variety of methods to get data (API calls, web services, scraping, etc), and if the data services have changed the data they are making available, then EF can only display what they have access to.
