Super helpful guide! Did you ever make the award flight tutorial? I’d love to see that!

Great video!

All airlines will have 9 as the highest number you will see in availability for each fare class. What that means is there is at least 9 seats available at that fare. If it shows 8 or less, then that's the actual number available at that fare class. This is a throwback to the earliest days of airlines computer reservations systems, and it's how it showed up for the airlines and travel agents. It has to do with the fact that one airline can pull of availability of another airline to rebook passengers. So, for example, Delta can rebook you on a United flight, and when doing so, can see if there are seats available, without actually showing the full number available. That makes it so Delta can't see exactly how full United's flight actually is.

I've been trying to learn how to find inexpensive business class seats. All the people say to come to ExpertFlyer and give a basic overview as you did here but I don't really learn anything other than the fact that you can see how many seats are left at each fare bucket. So now that we can see how many seats are left within each code, what do we do with that information?

you book directly with the airline or with a travel agency for availability you see on EF. keep your EF screen at hand so you can request the specific flights where you see availability. if you're using miles, and need to transfer them from a partner (eg a credit card points program) and consider any delay in transfer if appropriate (more delay, you'll want to see more available seats). EF is only for search, including current availability and future alerts.

How do I search for one-way flight?

Hey, how can I find Airfrance & KLM fare classes types.

Select the type of query (eg flight availability, award etc), then enter 'KL' and 'AF' for airline code and the specific fare classes you're interested in. EF uses the standard 2 letter IATA codes for airlines.
