You should try calling again. Baring any blocking by an airline, the inventory should be the same to BA.

Is EF any closer to restoring UA award capability?

What's happened to AC award search? Any ac award search I do returns:

"Class Code X: The class code specified is invalid.
Class Code I: The class code specified is invalid."

Has it been lost along with everything else star alliance?

Not at all:

Results from ExpertFlyer.comAC must have had a temporary error, try your search again.

Is there a way to use EF in conjunction with AA T4 upgrade list to determine EXP/500 UG availability?

I found the AA T4 Waitlist but on EF I can't understand how the EXP/500 UG works.

Would I just look for J availability in EF?

Thanks.

AA does not publish the X/R upgrade class availability. A change was made a couple years ago and that information is not even internally available to AAgents. J class would not be a proper indicator of upgrade availability as not all business seats available for sale are available for upgrades.

I'm guessing that since ExpertFlyer Voice is choosing to ignore the question, that the answer is no.

(EDIT: Nevermind, had somehow gotten out of advanced options, ignore this post.)

Hi,
I was supposed to be on this flight, and after a 3.5 hour delay, they said that the GPS system was acting up. they finally deplaned us and though they advised for us to stick around as another plane may come take its place, I went ahead and changed my reservation since I was doing a mileage run and could not afford to come back late. before I left the airport, the UA lounge mentioned the new plane is there and people will need to go to D4.
When I checked the flight status this morning however, the plane had been cancelled (thank goodness i was proactive). Could someone tell me if this was a crew issue or another mechanical issue? I want to write to UA and mention that we were never offered water nor snacks during the 3.5 hours. :rolleyes:

That information is gone now--usually it's removed a day or two after the flight.

The flight status widget on United.com usually matches up with the notes placed in the GDS that ExpertFlyer accesses (although on EF, it's coded and sometimes provides a bit more detail), so whatever the reason you saw described on United.com is the same as you'll see on EF.

Well then I'll ask another question that will be ignored:
Can I get a prorated refund since EF has been rendered useless to me -- or at least put my account on hold until the functionality I purchased is restored?

All account questions should be directed to [email protected]

Different Award Prices on AA.com vs. ExpertFlyer
 

Anyone noticing differences between the AA website award categories and the ExpertFlyer awards for the same flights? I'm looking at PHL > CDG on March 14 and CDG > PHL on March 23. On AA.com they are 60K , which is Economy AAnytime for the American metal but they are showing up on ExpertFlyer as Coach - MileSAAver Awards. I was hoping to book roundtrip for 40K since it's an AA off-peak destination. Anyone know if I should be able to get the off-peak rate since ExpertFlyer is showing it, but it's not on AA's site?

What's the exact routing that Expert Flyer is showing? Did you include partner carriers on your search at aa.com?

ExpertFlyer is showing PHL>ORD on AA 4237 and ORD>CDG on AA 42 on the 14th and CDG>ORD on AA 41 and ORD>PHL on AA 4249 on the 23rd. Yes, I have selected AA + AAdvantage Participating Airlines when searching on the AA website. The AA site shows a bunch of BA flights at the 20K off-peak award rates, but I prefer to avoid the fuel surcharges on BA for an economy flight. Would love those AA flights at the lower price, but unsure why they are showing 60K on AA.
