--------------------
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.

They need to roll back these changes. Horrible. There is no much wrong here, I don't even know where to start. Some of these errors were reported during UAT ... guess EF simply doesn't care?

I can get back in to the www on mobile and desktop.

The Seat Alerts app for iPhone won't login - the login button doesn't seem to work. This happened sometime last year - a forced logout and then not being able to log back in. At least the www is working again, and thanks for that.

Android app no longer seems to work. You type in your email and password but it is non responsive.

Same with iPad. IMHO- this new fancy marketing screen is now essentially a nag screen.

I can login now which is good but selecting a seat map search for BA with Business and Economy at the same time only returns one cabin class so you have to look at them individually. I wouldn’t describe this as an improvement.

Is there a way to make the new interface a bit less loose? When you view multiple flights, it takes the whole page.

Also, timetable filtering seems broken. When i uncheck the "show codeshares" all flights disappear.

I have the same issue- I can load my credentials from my Password app, but the login button is inactive

Perhaps I misunderstood what was fixed, but when I log in on what looks like a new interface I am then forwarded to the old website to log in again.

I just tried logging in - same problem as others “wrong PW”.
But as soon as I hit “forgot password “ it took me to the old site and auto-signed me in like usual

Its now forcing me into the new skin, but all saved queries and saved alerts have gone. They were all there as at 14:00 Zulu, so between then and now (17:55 Zulu) something happened.

I dont see this as improvement. The flow is cumberslne and my saved queries are gone in mobile (safari).

Too much scrolling needed when viewing seat maps (too large spacing).
