ExpertFlyer recently announced that it will suspend award-ticket data for the airlines listed below, which means you can no longer directly search these airlines’ award space or see the number of seats available. All of the affected carriers are based outside the U.S., so this will have some impact on international route searches.

Due to ongoing issues in obtaining award data for some airlines, we have decided to remove airlines from the Award & Upgrade search tool whose award data is no longer available:
• British Airways (except for Gold Elite Awards)
• Qatar Airways
• Iberia
• Korean Air (only Saver award classes removed)
• KLM (only Saver award classes removed)
• Emirates (only Saver award classes removed)
• Etihad
• LATAM
• Virgin Atlantic
• Fiji Airways
• Icelandair
• Some of the smaller oneworld airlines
• Some of the smaller Skyteam airlinesAny award classes that are no longer available will have “ (currently unavailable) ” appended to their description in the Class Codes reference and when viewing any Flight Alerts for them.
This also means that any active Flight Alerts for those award classes will no longer work. You are receiving this email because you have an active alert for an award class of one or more of the affected airlines. You can view your active alerts by logging in and clicking on the View Saved Alerts link under Alerts on the left side of the page. No other data or alert types for these airlines have been affected.

You can use the link below to see which airlines’ award and fare-class searches are still supported.

ExpertFlyer is currently one of the largest and most professional airfare search tools on the market. It not only lets you search flights across many airlines, but also shows the booking class and how many seats are still available in that class. Even better, it offers award alert services, so if the award seats you need become available, you’ll automatically receive an email notification. This can be especially helpful for booking highly competitive routes. It can also be very useful when planning complicated itineraries with multiple stopovers, open-jaws, and custom routing.
