Expertflyer.com - how to get flights/prices shown?
 
Hi,

I've just signed up to Expertflyer.com and have found a great price for a flight from LHR - SSH. However, when I try to find that price (or anything even remotely similar) on the british airways website (it is a BA flight) there is nothing similar. I've also tried kayak.com and expedia. Would I need to contact a travel agent, or does the flight at the price not really exisit?

THanks,
mel.b

Expertflyer will show you what fares are filed (and theoretically bookable), but it does not actually check for availability of those fares. In some cases, there may be nothing available as you are finding.

You might want to try ITA, they generally do check availability, although the itineraries they bring up may be difficult to book sometimes.

I found expertflyer.com to be pretty much worthless

Did you check for the availability of the fare using the Flight Availability search? Each flight will have different fares available as its unique availability changes.

I don't think there is an LHR-SSH flight. Last year, I did fly a BA code-share, operated by GB Airways, from LGW to SSH.
