As of today, Delta has requested that we no longer offer to you any information on ExpertFlyer pertaining to Delta. Since our inception almost 10 years ago we have accessed Delta information through a GDS where they publish information for the benefit of various travel providers.

And since Congress and the DOT have not done much (anything?) to protect consumers' miles, DL can discriminate as much as it wants with award availability information. |

How will this affect code shares? If I flight is coded AF or KL, but on DL metal, will it come up in a flight availability search?

Good for you on the US capability.
Is this seamless with AA routes now? By that I mean, will EF bring up itineraries with AA and US flights connecting with one another? |
Nice to see that for AA/UA. Too bad DL screwed us and blocked everything from EF recently. Nice contrast between the two airlines and the lack of transparency from Delta.

seeing X on AA
Do you think we will ever be able to see X availability on AA more than 24 hours before flight time? the way it was in the early days of EF?
