For ExpertFlyer Voice:
As of 2130 hours US Pacific Daylight Time on Wednesday, 24 June, I get an error message reading "Access to Website Blocked" when I try to log in to ExpertFlyer. AFAIK, my subscription is in good order. Any idea what's up? If you have any questions about using ExpertFlyer or wish to report any issues, please email them at [email protected]. |
US Airways Award Availability Stripped?
I received multiple alerts this morning about some domestic flights I was monitoring award inventory (DCA-LGA, specifically monitoring for a decrease in availability) and when I logged into EF, I noted the results no longer match with AA.com or BritishAirways.com. Temporary glitch?

BA is always having glitches with its interlink to AA

Why does class of service availability change on a particular flight when putting in different connections. Example: BOS DCA PHX on July 25th: Flying on US 2142 and connecting to US 563, EF shows F9 and X5 on flight 563. Flying on US 2139 and connecting to US 563 (the same flight from DCA to PHX), EF shows F8 X1 on flight 563. Doesn't make sense to me! Any explanation? Thx for your insight!

Basically, whether the airline thinks selling a seat on a particular flight is going to be profitable depends on the behaviour of the whole flight network. So in this case if you are a group of 5 in X class they want you on the US 2142 -> US 563 rather than US 2139 -> US 563. |
I've noticed a "quirk" with a couple of recent timetable searches I have performed - flights are returned whose dates of applicability are outside the date range I have specified.
An example: Searching for the timetable for DOH-NBO on 25/01/2016 with the "Search up to 7 days from this date" ticked The results returned are (scroll right to see highlighted dates that are outside my specified date range): Results from ExpertFlyer.com Code:
Flight Timetables Search:Note that unticking the "Search up to 7 days from this date" returns results that are in range. |
I've hardly used my ExpertFlyer subscription for the past year or two because of reduced travel so am a bit out of the loop on changes.
I was aware of the Delta problems, but have just now discovered that I cannot search for awards and upgrades for SAS or Lufthansa. Is that correct? Any outlook on whether or not they will be restored? My annual subscription was just renewed and I had no idea that the airlines I fly were no longer supported. |

Hi, need some guidance please. Just joined Expert Flyer for a trial and found this fare to travel 23Nov DUB-PHX and 01Dec PHX-DUB;
ILR28AP AA I Round-Trip 984.00(GBP) B 11/23/14 11/30/15 SU / 12M 28 When I called AA they are quoting GBP1,260.90. What am I doing wrong or is the Expert Flyer fare plus TAX? Many thanks AX |

If you use ITA to price the itinerary now (remembering to specify results in GBP), you'll see that the breakdown shows that the base fare is £494.91 + £494.91 = £989.82, plus TFC to make a total of £1,259.70. (Some rounding errors and currency movements are common if you're asking for a price in a different currency from the one in the country of origin. EF shows me a fare of £990.00 at the moment.) |

Many thanks AX ExpertFlyer is quoting the base fare only which is really rather unhelpful especially transatlantic where the fuel surcharges can be substantial. DAK |

The EF fare listing gives base fare only. So yes, you would pay £984 + taxes, fees and charges.

Originating in DUB the fare should be quoted in Euros not GBP. And yes the EF fares listed are base fares, exclude taxes and fees. There is a 212 GBP YR surcharge (carrier/fuel surcharge) plus many small airport/customs/etc fees. Add it all up and the 984 GBP does turn into 1260 GBP final price.

By-the-way.... This is a totally fantastic business class fare as you probably realize. Spend your money wisely.... namely, consider DUB-LHR-PHX on BA rather than DUB-PHL-PHX on AA. Price is almost the same (LHR fees make it about 50 GBP more expensive) but I would be much happier in BA club world all the way to PHX than connecting in PHL onto domestic first for another 5 hours.
