Do EP alerts work BAs U inventory? I know there are segments on my flight with award inventory available but when I created an alert for it (as a test), it failed to detect anything.

ExpertFlyer Flight Alerts for awards and upgrades only work for airlines that publish their award and upgrade inventory. British Airways does not, that's why they are not listed. You can see that list in the Award & Upgrade search or on our Help/FAQ page here: http://www.expertflyer.com/sessionlessClassList.do

Ah thanks! how silly of me.

Thanks!
 

I grieved when UA went off your platform, but I kept my subscription because of your continued ability to offer Seat Alerts on UA.

So, 36 hours before my flight takes off, my favorite GF seat opens up, and an alert comes my way! Thank you, EF. You made my day.

That's great to hear, thanks for your support!

When I tried EF, that was also one minor point I didn't like. The other was displaying times in 12-hour (AM/PM) format. I MUCH prefer if there was an option to change times to a 24-hour clock. I just find that much easier to deal with when flying, especially for flights that leave or depart in the the wee hours (such as shortly after midnight), and I always have to do a double-take and be sure of the AM/PM, rather than just being able to glance at it and comprehend exactly the time.

That hasn't been asked for before, but thanks for the suggestion. However there is an easier way, if you use the Tab button to navigate the fields, doing so will highlight the full content of a field at which point you can just type the new airport/airline code.

This option already exists on the Preferences tab of the My Account page.

Thanks, guess I must have missed it when I was using it before. I'll have to use that when I sign up again for your service.

A default point of sale choice would be useful as well.

+1

+1 and include "originating airport" as one of the choices
