Back to ticketing date benefits:
Here in Russia, KLM will start a big sale tomorrow. It is not possible to see the fares now, but I am sure this have already been loaded and it is possible to see those in GDSs by specifying a ticketing date (ie tomorrow).

I'm trying to look at a seat map on a few UA flights. When I select First or Economy, I get the following error:
Any ideas?
There is no reserved seating for this flight.

It means that UA isn't allowing the pre-reservation of seats on that flight for whatever reason, so it's returning that error instead of a seat map.

Your welcome! Yes sometimes airlines choose not to allow reserved seating via GDSs but will still show a seat map on the website. Airlines are fun like that.
Please email the flight/date information to [email protected] so we can do some research on it, thanks.

Hello. A new subscriber.
Did you say some where that KLM award could be available soon? It would be a welcome news as I need to find ways to get rid of my skymiles!!!
BTW, I did find some O inventory in AF to display in delta.com. expertflyer is very useful in finding those.

Would it be possible to surface the sub-data for aircraft type for BA flights?
Point in question - the new First 777-336 appears as 77N in BA's system. On expertflyer.mobi, I can see 77N under the plane type on a seatmap query. However, on the .com site, I cannot find 77N listed anywhere for the same flights, just 777. It'd be nice at least under the "info" button (where you list flying time) if this is possible to display w/o requiring a separate query.

Back to RBD Chart 2:
EF shows a ZERO fare on PK from KHI to MEX. The fare is MPM and has no flight restrictions. The only information available now is that the travel should be via Pacific.
Unlikely anyone needs it (miles, origin, economy class etc), however there are more expensive fares with same rules, so there is a chance that the fare is bookable.
So if anyone is able to find booking classes for secondary carriers (stored in RBD Chart 2 of the fare) then that would give us the answer if the fare is bookable.

Domestic US fares
It looks like some information is still missing in fare screen:
For example, OW fares from NYC to MIA show a number of cheap Y-UP type fares which are not bookable (and this fares are shown as 'B' = business). Unfortunately the routing rules for US-domestic fares do not show applicable booking classes, which I think may answer the question in this case (the primary booking class [shown on main fare search screen] for Y-UP fares is usually amended by other letters in routing rules).
Any ideas if this is resolvable?
