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

Etihad plays strange games on their website such that you see different award availability based on whether your search originates in the US or not.

As a specific example, I am looking for JFK-AUH on 12/18 in J. Searching for that one way on etihad.com yields zero Guest Business award seats, whereas searching for AUH-JFK-AUH (with the AUH-JFK leg on any random date preceding 12/18), shows 6+ Guest Business seats for JFK-AUH on 12/18.

My question is, if I sign up for EF, which of these two availabilities will EF display for the JFK-AUH flight?

Do fare rules and routing rules no longer exist?

I have a weird bug where the images for those buttons do not load at work.

The links themselves still work (if you dig into the HTML to get them), but the images do not.

Only affects me at work. (Windows, Chrome.)

Are you still having the issue? What happens when you try a Shift-Reload of the page? Please email us directly at [email protected] if that doesn't work, thanks.

QR170 DOH-MAD D Fare

EF shows D9

But CX could not see any availability.
Can someone explain why? (what's beyond the obvious)

I tried to re-issue a CX issued DONEx ticket.

I have no idea what is obvious to you. This kind of discrepancy is usually the result of married segments or pos issue.

I am having an issue where the 'view routing' button just does nto show in the column when viewing fares and prices. The column is there, but in the rows, nothing to click on to view allowed routings.

Using Chrome on Mac.

Did you email us about it? Try a shift-Reload of the page and/or clearing your cache.

Many thanks for switching QR routing rules back to Sabre! This allows easily to see when a fare was created/ scpired, set of rules applied etc.

Hi all, I am thinking about signing up to Expertflyer premium and there is one thing that is unclear on the website. If I select the monthly premium account, does it just charge you 9.99 as a once off or are you locked into a years contract? Thanks!
