Is there a way to make an alert that will tell me if the lowest bookable fare changes?
IE... and alert for if the lowest bookable fare goes from Q to M (on DL)?
I would assuming that M will have inventory even if Q is being sold so an alert to say if M goes from 0 to 1+ will not work.
Thanks?

If you really care about fare and not booking class, the tool you want is Yapta.
No, I don't care about the fare, hence why I don't do a cost tracking web site. I'm trying to wait to book a fare when the lowest booking class becomes M or higher.

You might try setting an alert for when H is less than 1. Of course, that doesn't guarantee that M will still have any inventory.

It sounds like what you really care about is when there is no longer Q availability. How about an alert for Q is less than 1?

However, don't assume that one class will have availability when another doesn't, revenue management can zero out several classes at once if they want to, without warning.

Just want to confirm I can create an availability alert for an awards flight in a particular class... ie I want to get a text/email if two award seats open up in first on a particular route on a particular day for a particular airline. (even if the route has stops)

What fare class should I search for to find award availability on Delta using EF? I tried N, R, O but nothing ever shows up even if Delta website shows low level awards. It seems EF does not provide DL award availability at all. When will that support be added? Thanks.

When we add airlines to the list in the future, we will send out an announcement.

Is there a way to search on EF for fares from multiple cities to multiple cities, similar to how we can use ITA?
Something like:
LHR,CDG,AMS to ORD,YUL,YYZ

Unfortunately not. ITA can do that because they have an internal copy of all published fare tariffs and flight availability along with the ability to price flights, something that usually only GDSs have and can do. Except GDSs don't allow multi origin/destination city searches.
