Update on Visa, Health, and Passport: We are no longer able to connect to our 3rd party provider. We are in contact with them to restore access ASAP but at this point we don't have a clear timeline. We will share another update here once we do.

This is a pretty basic fix isn’t it, unless you’re seriously expecting us to believe that there will be no further schedule changes for these flights, the earliest of which is 3 months away?

I received further schedule change alerts today which are no longer in my saved alerts so I will assume the fix hasn’t happened yet. I’ve since set them up again but it’s very frustrating that a schedule alert doesn’t stick after it has been triggered… this one was for October so there are bound to be further changes.

EDIT: essentially those of us who paid full price and got a faulty product for a year get nothing, those who are joining as new get a nice discount. clearly shows the contempt that the current EF owners have of their subscription base. anyway, when folks no longer renew, perhaps they will get the messsage.

still nothing, your understanding of the word "soon" seems to differ to mine.

anyway, you are helping make folks decisions on renewal, especially as there are now alternatives like https://www.planepoints.com/

While setting up a Seat Alert, when I check the "I can reserve blocked seats with this airline" box, it greys out the blocked seats when trying to select specific seats.

When I uncheck that box, I can select the blocked seats. :confused:

For some reason MH seats maps for flights within 72 hours of departure seem be playing up.

On EF MH20 KUL-CDG on Sunday 1st is only showing paid Y class seats available but the live map from a dummy booking is showing a lot more available.

Can this be fixed?

For example, 2784 LGW-LCA 18 Dec 2026 wouldn’t show seats in Dec 2025 although unusually, the aircraft change could be set and usually, the two go hand in hand.

No problem I thought, I’ll simply wait until January and I’ll be able to take a look then. Erm, no.

Ok, maybe it’s a Gatwick EuroFlyer thing so I’ll try the 660 LHR-LCA on the same day just to check… nope, that doesn’t work either but again, aircraft changes do work.

If I look at November 2026, it’s all systems go.

I get the impression something else that has been fixed has affected this functionality which is what usually happens…

It would be great to have everything firing on all cylinders.

Happy February and as it is now February, I thought I d check the December seats… hooray - I can see them! However, seat data for the Jan 2027 return isn’t available. This does mean that your seat viewing window has reduced from 11 months to 10 as I suspected. This is of no use to anybody who always books BA flights the moment they’re released, 355 days in advance.

Will there be a fix for this EF?

PS: and for some rather bizarre reason, I have 5 schedule change alerts set up for the Jan 2 return and which didn’t stick the last time I tried setting them.

Paid for upgrade to Premium but no access
 
I have paid for and can see Premium in my subscription but on the home page it says Free. Any chance this can get fixed asap please? Ive logged out and in, multiple times. But I simply can't search for anything. Urgent.

You're right. The window has reduced to 10 months. Our data provider has restricted access beyond that point, and we haven't been able to get them to extend it yet. We're pushing them on this, but I can't give you a timeline for when that'll change.

I'm unable to login on a Windows computer. For the past 12 or so hours, clicking on the sign in button simply causes the page to continuously reload.

No problems logging in on Windows 11 Chrome

I can log in. I saw a problem today where the home page would continuously reload which made it difficult to click on the sign-in button before the reload but once I was able to click on the sign-in button before the reload I was able to sign-in fine using Win 11.

Standard stuff: disable ad blockers. Clear cookies. Try an incognito/private browser window. Disable browser extensions. Try this with another browser.

The homepage endlessly refreshing has been happening for me for the past week. I get around it by clicking the stop refresh button and then just login after which it works normally but a bit annoying.

Does not help here.
It almost seems to me as if the auth0 redirect is sometimes interfering with some expertflyer JavaScripts that are trying to reload the complete website.

Thankyou for sorting this quickly.
