Woohoo! Thanks for bringing it back ... it's been gone a long time, and has been sorely missed

that has got to kick along paid subscriptions in Australia.

 

[Bundy Bear]

That is good to hear; I will continue my expertflyer subscription.

I allowed my subscription to lapse when award seats were not shown, but just renewed it because awards seats can now be viewed.

Interesting.

My EF subscription is in its last month if not out the door. Perhaps I should think about renewing (albeit now at the higher, non-discounted price, i.e. after the "honeymoon" year from subscribing to AFF as a Gold).

I guess the main benefit of EF is the ability to set up an alert for the release of new award seats....currently, the only way to check for new award availability is to regularly do dummy bookings on the QF website.

Great news

And check seat maps, and check availability of A/D

I still use EF a lot - and have never used it for QF awards...

Does this show only QF flights or any awards bookable through QF (i.e. does it have CX availability?)

These are only for QF flights, if codeshares happen to show up then I would call QF to confirm the availability on the partner airline because we're querying the QF specific award classes.

[Must...Fly!]

I know i'm bumping an old thread, but i just had to express my joy at expertflyer!

i had been looking at award availability for per-wlg (wellington) for next weekend and had come up with nothing. seats released mel-wlg but not per-wlg, as no per-mel seats were available (or per-syd) to connect with it.

but i thought i'd sign up for expert flyer and see what all the fuss is about...wow:!:

it listed an award that wasn't listed on qf, codeshare jq flight to MEL and then the qf flight to wlg. so i rang qantas and booked over the phone, with (obviously) the telephone booking fee waived.

thanks expertflyer. If the trip eventuates, you've saved me money!
