My question is why is EF even worse than DL?

We show the same published data DL does, it's not "worse". If you want to give us a specific example, please email us directly.

Why don't you change it to show what AF shows? This way it would be more accurate.

Because we don't scrape data from the Air France website.

Is the Ethiopian award availability displayed on EF only available to their own FF members?
i.e. I'm seeing ton of availability on EF, but can't confirm on ANA or Aeroplan.

Yes it is partner inventory and will match what you see on ANA and AE. Please email us your specific example if you need further help.

For the benefit of the thread... The issue was that ET's data is in flux. Even on the ANA award search, if you just hit Refresh you get a different answer for the same search. We've seen this happen before when the airline host system and the reservation systems aren't communicating properly.

For UA states

United Airlines (UA)   I   Saver award: Business cabin on 3 cabin flights, First class on domestic 2 cabin flights

So will not find anything on the EWR-TLV route I guess

Why only 3 cabin?

What do you mean? I class is for Business on 3 cabin flights and O is First on 3 cabin flights. For 2 cabin domestic flights I class is the award class for the "First" cabin.

Will UA R, IN, and XN class ever return?
I'd pay double for a subscription that included that.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Is Experflyer down for Delta? I am not showing any availability at all for any destination or dates. For example. JFK-SFO has wide open saver in December as shown on Virgin Atlantic, but EF comes back with 0 results
