As for you question - you simply tick off economy and business fields on the fare results screen.

MPM and TPM
Is excess mileage surcharge calculated based on MPM and then TPD added or it is calculated based on TPM (which exceeds the first number by TPD * % of excess mileage)?
Not very clear but short...

Hey there, this is great news about AZ, but I am having trouble checking Z class (Business award) using the Award search. For example, searching for Z (which is a checkbox option) on MXP-JFK 04/18/11 yields this error:
Class Code Z: The requested information could not be retrieved or is not available. This is likely due to invalid input criteria or lack of access to the information from the airline. Please revise the search parameters and try again.
Any advice? Thanks!

Any advice? Thanks!
My understanding is that a surcharge of X% of the base fare is added to the base fare for mileage that is X% in excess of the MPM at intervals of 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25%. If that's what you're asking.

An example of what our Fare Information results look like is here: http://www.expertflyer.com/screensho...nformation.jsp For a more specific search, you're more then welcome to sign up for our 5-day free trial and give us a try.
a specific answer would have been better for me and could constitute a real trial.
Perhaps a member will answer to my question, as I do when somebody asks for help on the forum.

Thank you. I thought that a tool like EF can show all the fares on a specific travel. A travel agency (luxury or not) is for me a second step, when I want to book...and only if it is a complicated routing.

Their 5-day trial works fine. Why aren't you trying it? Right now it sounds like you're asking them to give you something for free.

Just signed up for the basic trial period today. Very user friendly and informative. I signed up to check on upgrade availability for domestic F. Unfortunately CO isn't supported so the website is of no use to me.

The MPM and the 5M, 10M, 15M, 20M and 25M thresholds don't change; the TPD comes into play when you calculate the cumulative TPM, from which you deduct the TPD before comparing the result to the MPM and nM excess mileages. So, in other words, the TPD * % of excess mileage is not part of the equation.

Sign up for the 5-day free trial and you can get "a real trial", as well as the answer to your question. @:-)
Although EMS is the Excess Mileage Surcharge, i.e. an amount in currency not on miles...

So, if EF can help me know the maximum mileage on a route, that's good.

Not really a problem since upgrade info on CO is NEVER predictable! Wouldn't matter if they did have it! And the reason why even tho I live in Northern NJ, I never fly CO overseas as they make it impossible to plan way ahead.
