They do not show in Sabre for US. The classes are X/I/O for Y/C/F but you won't see them except for via the ANA method. If the flight doesn't show then it isn't available.

that doesn't make sense, lots of flights that have no availability do show up, why would this one in particular not show?

ANA doesn't see that flight.

That explains why the tool isn't showing it. Doesn't explain why they don't see it, but that's why it isn't showing up in the search.

The UA flight never will; that's just a codeshare on the US metal.

Not at all :).

This has now been confirmed to be an issue with the *A engine and/or StarNet and is likely related to the very early departure time for the flights in question...

Flight AC872 appears twice - once with no availability in classes U, H, Q, V, W, etc., and a second time with 7-9 seats in each of those classes. :confused:

Also, flight AC876 does not appear at all. Any suggestions? (... or, what am I doing wrong?)


All times are GMT -6. The time now is 2:50 am.
