Checking MCT in IAH for my parents, flying International to International from Avianca -> Air Canada. Avianca sold me a ticket with a 1:25 connection (which is now down to a 1:20 connection due to a slight schedule change on the AC flight). If I'm reading this correctly, seems like it is an illegal connection? I can still see the flights being sold on the Avianca site as a single ticket with a 1:20 connection...

Am I reading this correctly?

Not sure if that's now under the MCT, but my decision on whether to do anything about it would be based on what happens with a missed connection. Is there an AC flight within three hours to that same destination? That would cut in favor of keeping the itinerary. Or would that require an overnight stay at IAH, which would cut the other way.

Indeed, would require an overnight stay at possibly our expense depending on the reason of the delay. Only one flight a day from IAH to Vancouver.

There's an earlier flight into IAH with a 5 hour layover. Will try to move them to that. Thanks!

Probably wise. It's anyone's guess what the IAH immigration hall will be like when they arrive.

Since this no longer has anything to do with ExpertFlyer, please continue this discussion in the following thread in the Texas forum:Thanks for understanding,

Delta does not work at this time. I sent them an email as mentioned upthread, but they sent me a canned response a few minutes later. I threatened a dispute and they haven't responded almost 3 days later.

Just a heads up that seat maps (Y, J) are back on track for Aegean Airlines (including the turboprop fleet of Olympic Air). Good news guys !

I thought this was fixed?
EF for my two flights today in FC UA are completely inaccurate.
Pretty annoying as I’ve been waiting for something better to open.

Looks like Delta seatmaps are working again when I checked this morning.

SQ back up, but inaccurate.

Noticed the same for some, but not all, flights. A little discouraging that their updated banner suggests there are only issues remaining with AA seat maps, when UA and apparently others are still not reliable.

Noticing F and Y for UA are not accurate within 48 hours of departure, but seem to be OK further out, but seats that do not exist in certain rows (at least on the 777-300) are shown as available. Also, blocked seats in HA F do not show as blocked and are showing as available, and more often than not, Y seat maps are still not working. The notice at the top of the EF screen only talking about AA seat map issues is rather misleading.

I can't get the RTW fares to show, is this a known issue ? I put in the same origin and destination airports, and I get no results

Appears to be working fine for me. I just entered OSL and the start and end point, and BA as the carrier. And I got all the Oneworld Explorer and Global Explorer fares.

Can you provide an example that is not working for you?

Trying to see what the fare is for ex-CAI, but I get nothing. I do see the ex OSL fare. though!

<a href="https://www.expertflyer.com/?a=s"><bold>Results from ExpertFlyer.com</bold></a><br />Fare Information Search:<br /><div>Departing CAI on 11/06/24 for CAI</div><div>Viewing in currency EGP</div><div>Searching in Business cabin</div><div>Validated Results</div><table border="1" style="text-align:left;"><tbody><tr><th>Fare Basis</th><th>Airline</th><th>Booking Class</th><th>Trip Type</th><th>Fare</th><th>Cabin</th><th>Effective Date</th><th>Expiration Date</th><th>Min/Max Stay</th><th>Adv Purchase Req</th></tr></tbody></table>

I see you're in your ex CAI trip right now. Any tips for pricing / finding the availability for a DONE5 ex-CAI using EF? I can't make the Oneworld tool to give me a EGP price (resets to AUD all the time as I travel to Australia first).
