In the meantime, I am also working on making the Galileo seat maps to work on a '1-click' basis, so you will no longer need to manually go through a dummy booking process ... |
Apollo seems to have started listing flights on a random basis. Until recently it seemed to list (1) nonstop or direct flights with any seat availability (2) connecting flights with availability and then (3) nonstop/ direct flights with no availability.
In the last few days I've noticed that it has started burrying nonstop flights with availability between connecting flights so that unless you know there is a flight there you might not know to look for it. Yes, I ask to sort by # of connex Example is LHR-HKG 27 Mar |

(And this is one reason why tools like KVS and EF, while often very useful, often fall down for UK customers just when you need them most, ie when you're chasing the last seat or two.) The other thing to watch for when considering "in the money" is yield. There's a lot of pressure on 27 March and a day or so either side because people are arriving for the Sevens, which starts on Friday 30 March. So even if VS has sold all its Upper Class this far in advance, what yield did it get for those seats? How many have gone to package operators at deeply discounted net rates? Are the airlines that still have premium capacity going to hold out for higher yields later? I have no idea what the answers are, but these are all the bread and butter of that arcane art called yield management. |

Very unreliable indicator. Booked from UK market inventory, there are at least 4 discounted Upper Class seats available on that VS200.

You may experience difficulties obtaining fares for certain city pairs.
I am already looking into this matter... |

Important note regarding the [Sabre: Fares/ZUJ] & [Sabre: Fares/DotRes] Methods
A "No fares found"/"We cannot process your request" error message can result when requesting fares for "All Airlines (YY)". Should that occur, try entering a specific airline preference.
If you are requesting international fares on UA and are receiving the said message, please note that this is a system issue with the Sabre GDS and/or UA. |
Not showing all flights
I'm looking for availability on US on the 0725 flt fr Buf to PHL and on to LAX via PHX with various combos. US shows the strings, but KVS isn't pulling it. Any ideas?

Thank You!
By now I have corrected my mistake. I was referring to the departure time, not flt #. I understand that coach is sold out, but not first. I just wondered why US would pull a routing just because there were some flights with limited seating. They're still offering flt 1997 that leaves BUF at 0645 to CLT on Feb 17th. I'm just trying to learn how to read. US says one thing, Orbitz another and KVS something else again. I understand seeing seats "available" on a seat map means nothing. But I thought Orbitz was supposed to be pretty accurate. Thanks for working with me.
I know, I've got no chance on the President's week vacation exodus from the north, but it's fun to dream. Eileen |
