I just brought up a OW130C business class reward ticket booked with AA EXP desk, and not only is my reservation there, but also all of the AA comments on my reservation! I bet they will hate it that we can see this stuff!
The site doesn't immediately solve my problem. I need U class for this reward ticket between LHR and JNB, and the availability tool lists lots of business class availability, but nothing about U at all, not even U0. So I am downgraded to coach which is V, and I don't see V in the list either...

AAExecPlat --- IIRC, the test began in October. The developer was nice enough to continue my access until Wed of this week. I can say that I was a little lonely without it for the last 2 days!
Not sure what the edited comments were about, but I remember when we first lost Galileo that people said they would pay $5-10/month for flight availability. Well, we got it -- and alot more.
I do agree that there should be some 1 or 2 day free passes so that people can seee if their airline's codes are supported in availability. But this site does have a 5 day money back guarantee -- so I say TRY IT!!!!!!!!

Very impressed I signed up and immediately noted a number of erroneous notations ( outright lies is probably more accurate ) on a PNR after a call to the Plat desk.
quote " mr. MS was only insterested in rambling on.." this after I inquired as why I was not informed aboiut a sked change.
I wonder if we confront them with the notations they can block our viewing.
I dont think they are going to be happy about this at all

There are a couple of places on the site which mention "all airlines" so I signed up. I can report that it will perform searches based on all airlines (or any that you specify). I'm not sure why they chose to only show AA on their screenshots. Everything seems to work well and I've been able to pull up seatmaps for the upcoming HP and UA flights that I have.
All of the information in the site is available free somewhere else, but it's REALLY nice to have it all in one place. The site is fast and I haven't had any issues with it. Worth $10/mo??? I don't know...
I'm assuming that the backend is SABRE (hence the AA bias in their screenshots).

Y to C using miles and if different Y to C using e-vips?
I know this has been posted but unable to locate.
