Do you mean 19 August this year, also known as "the day after tomorrow"? :eek:

The "great fares" you're looking for tend to have limited availability and advance purchase requirements. Sometimes that means 60 days before your travel date, sometimes just 21 or 14 days. The airlines are not in the habit of offering their lowest fares to people who "need" to fly from N. America to Europe today or tomorrow.

If an airline has lots of spare capacity a few days before a flight, you might find "last minute" bargain fares. If they exist, you'll find them using Kayak or the airlines' own sites. ExpertFlyer is great at what it does, but it probably won't help you much with your particular search.

In addition, for the past few weeks DL upgrade information had been included in a general Flight Availability search. That is no longer the case, however the V,G,X,Z upgrade classes are still available via the Award & Upgrade search, as they have always been, and only available on ExpertFlyer.

^^

Thanks for the update. The CO website is such a pain to use when searching for R availability.

SUCH A WIN! Funny enough I renewed my subscription just to check out some other awards and was a little thrown off seeing CO in the dropdown. This is great.

Your welcome, glad you find it useful. Enjoy!

Sure it is, I've been using it to search CI awards all week.

We have since added CI to our Award and Upgrade search tool. As we noted back in July:

Well doing that is the primary reason I will be paying for a subscription with you. I just booked two awards tickets through Delta on CI and really appreciate the tool.

I would hope to see you add Asiana and Thai Airways in the future, I was disappointed to see neither of those are available, but great to see that you guys are actively working to improve your system.

As Hertz #1 Gold is there a coupon or only with the Hertz Business Account Program?

Need lil help...
 

All,

I am new to EF and wondering what is the best way to search award availability between BOM and SFO on Skyteam (using DL miles) around a certain time, say Apr 2012...

I am trying all possible segments like BOM-CDG-SFO or BOM-AMS-SFO, etc. but am never getting award availability for 2 BIZ seats.

Is it really not very available or am I doing something wrong? If someone has a few mins to spare and a heart to help - could you try the above searches and see if you are getting anything available?

Thanks, no flames if you do not have time to help out :).

LX Inventory * or M&M?
 

I have seen inventory that is displayed by EF on LX that are not available to be booked on *A by using CO or UA miles. Someone said EF's inventory display on LX follows availability for M&M members. If this is true, then we need the disclaimer on the inventory display of LX.

+1

I was excited when I saw a message alerting me to LX F space on NRT-ZRH. Turns out that it was false, as UA and KVS did not see any space.

At the top of the Award & Upgrade search results for LX it currently states:

"SWISS Award availability reflects availability for Miles & More members. Availability to members of partner airlines may be less."

Perhaps that could be added to the Flight Alerts page?

Are you referring to the separate Create Flight Alerts page? The messages at the top of the Award & Upgrade results page are airline specific. The Create Flight Alerts page doesn't know you are creating an alert for a LX award class until after you have submitted the form and created the alert and therefore wouldn't be able to show you a message before hand. Much of the award alert creation is done from the Award & Upgrade results page via the (!) icon.
