Delta Against Its Customers: No Longer Permits Expertflyer Access to Inventory, Seat Maps, Fares, or Even Flight Status

ExpertFlyer Pulls All Delta Information

As I explained a couple of weeks ago, ExpertFlyer is one of the travel tool subscription services I pay for, given that it saves me a ton of time and does display some information which isn’t otherwise readily available online.

Over the past couple of years they’ve certainly fought their fair share of battles with airlines over which space they can and can’t display. ExpertFlyer is a great service and makes life easier for the frequent traveler, but in many cases that’s not something the airlines like. For example, if you can set alerts whereby ExpertFlyer emails you when award or upgrade space opens up, the airlines aren’t a fan of that for obvious reasons. While they create the rewards systems, they don’t want to make them easy for us to use. For example, late last year they stopped displaying most Star Alliance award space, as well as British Airways award space.

Account Balances Show Disparity Between Airline Miles and Hotel Points

About twice a year I do an inventory of our miles and points to look at my strengths and weaknesses in coverage. The last look shows my continuing problem acquiring hotel points. At present we have 1,340,000 airline miles and only 300,000 hotel points. In addition, we have 240,000 uncommitted points between Chase Ultimate Rewards, […]

It’s Too Dang Early for This!

The meal service standards that US Airways went to in the spring — and American adopts tomorrow — call for an ‘enhanced snack basket’ in first class on all flights from 700 to 999 miles. Fort Lauderdale – Washington National is 899 miles. So it gets an enhanced snack basket. It’s not an ‘exception market’ […]
