Searches currently not working:
  • Upgrades - AY, BA, EK, EY, IB, QR, VS
  • Awards - AY, BA, IB, EY, QR, VS

To search AA upgrades:
  • Use the Award & Upgrade tool
  • Only search for individual segments (set the "Connection Preference" drop-down to "Direct/Non-Stop only"). Flight results that are part of a connection won't show the upgrade version of C or A inventory because AA only files upgrade inventory as individual, not married, segments. (Married segments show revenue inventory instead of upgrade inventory.)
  • To avoid confusion, check the "Exclude Codeshares" box, as AA awards and upgrades are not valid on codeshares.

The seat alerts on Android working again, thankfully. I was missing it. The web interface which still worked, is just not the same and I found myself not bothering looking at all.

Glad it's working again.

ExpertFlyer's timetable search function has suddenly become essentially unusable for me when using "Search by Arrival/Departure City." Even when filtering for codeshare flights and direct flights, results for every city on every date I've tried for the last few days are showing all kinds of crazy connections with ground freight service--for example, this is for a random date ex-MXP:

I emailed customercare @ expert flyer and received the following: "Hi, thank you for your email. We have recently updated our Timestables. The information shown reflects the data we have access to. We regret any inconvenience this may have caused. Feel free to reach out if you have any additional questions!

Thank you,

Which is not what I would call a helpful resolution.

The fact that they can't spell the word "timetable" does not inspire confidence...

What a useless response...

The response makes sense. My guess is they are using a variety of methods to get data (API calls, web services, scraping, etc), and if the data services have changed the data they are making available, then EF can only display what they have access to.

Anyone else having the same problem as me? I usually pay monthly for a subscription when I need it, which works out at around 7-8 times per year. My most recent subscription expired so I went to the desktop site as usual to renew but have been unable to, as I'm constantly asked to update my credit card information. My previous card had not expired, but when I add it back in and click save nothing changes and I'm still unable to renew my subscription.

However, the top left corner of the page still says I have the premium service with unlimited queries, and I retain full functionality, except I can't use the Android mobile version - it simply won't let me log in there. Logging in as desktop on my phone works fine.

I'm having the same problem. The response from Customer Care is clearly BS. It appears to be only the DEPARTURE timetables that are displaying completely useless information. The ARRIVAL timetables are working as they always have. I will email them as well.

I just got the following reply. So at least they're now acknowledging that there's a problem:

same problem here on iOS. Cannot use it from my phone which kind of defeats the purpose

I'm still seeing issues with the departures/arrivals timetable page. It's not completely garbage anymore, but under all the nonstop flights there are a ton of connecting options from all over including some odd things like rail codeshares, and I see a handful of cargo routes (with aircraft type "truck") as well.

My workaround for this is to manually de-select all the connecting airports and to de-select the airline with no name (see attached screen shot).

Not an ideal situation, but it is fairly easy to do.

Anyone else wondering what happened to the detailed flight status information? It used to print out the air service shorthand for a flights status, which included details about whether a delay was because of weather or crew or what not. Can't find that anymore.
