--------------------
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.
  • 2 minute video explanation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGRNFYIbHp4

(I take this back. CX somehow loaded a flight Y0 B8...)

Alerts not triggering (but CX post-27/3 seats were released overnight https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/show...3#post37740773 ):

Lightbulb Design update!

Hey everyone! We updated the main navigation on ExpertFlyer to a simpler design. This cleaner layout allows more room for results. Take a look and let us know your thoughts!

Why does expertflyer btw. not support such a "one-click" feature (and I have to script something to get the alerts set up without clicking into all of the flights by hand):
- Flight from Origin to Destination
- Flightnumber
- set this alert up for flights on Thursdays and Fridays for the next 4-8 weeks (with the same flight number)
- Give me an alert for all free seats with seat numbers ... (e.g. the JetBlue Mint Thrones )

Btw.: at least the seat alert testmails are sending with a broken DKIM Signature (dkim=fail ("headers rsa verify failed"))
