Expert Mode survives!
 
This is somewhat specific to the co.com site right now but given that the co.com site will be the surviving web presence for the combined carrier I figured it was worth sharing the good news here in the combined forums. "Expert mode" is now available on the co.com preview site, suggesting that it will be live for the rest of the world in the near future. On any booking screen the "Fare Class" entry is now a hyperlink that, when clicked, produces the data:

Nice to see co.com's functionality rising to the level of .bomb! :D

Wow, good to hear.

but O7 and I4 on a CO metal flight. That looks like a bug. Never seen CO that generous with F space before. ;)

And the R availability. But I also see CO BF and CO Y labeled as United First and United Economy in the reward seat maps so perhaps it's not fully cooked yet.

No more dummy award bookings to figure out upgrade availability? Woohoo. ^

This is good news. Glad they're incorporating a superior function of the UA site.

Excellent news. ^

Click.

You have to click but this is very convenient.

All too often I find myself in multiple tabs trying to book flights, look up schedules, look up availability in EF, etc. Nice one, CO! ^

Seems unlikely as it is not long for this world (wide web).

Very good news! I hope they stay with the click since its easier to use on mobile devices.
