Their partnership with UA is relatively new.
Bookable via PUTPAC only.
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.

No PUTPAC needed anymore for most awards. (Notable exception in FFN) they can be booked online.

When searching for LY Economy award from TLV - ZRH it shows availability even when checking to exclude code share.

However when i called AA to book they said the flight was operated by LX so can't book

How do i exclude those flights when searching?

It is up to the airline to publish a flight as a codeshare and for the GDS to exclude it when ExpertFlyer makes the request. If you have a specific search you would like us to look at email customercare@expertflyer.com

Why does EF not show any more flights when there are more available?

Is there another way to search?

There is a fixed number of flights that can be returned by the reservation system per search. If you want to see more, advance the time of day of the search to see later flights.

If you have further questions about how to use ExpertFlyer please email us at  customercare@expertflyer.com

Just got this email, not sure if this is old news or not, thought I'll share.


Dear xxxx,

As part of our continued partnership with American Airlines, we are pleased to announce that ExpertFlyer now supports full US Airways Award & Upgrade searching and alerting. The addition of awards and upgrades from US Airways operated flights will complement the existing American Airlines operated award/upgrade data already available to subscribers of ExpertFlyer. In addition Flight Alerts can now be created for award and upgrade inventory for US Airways operated flights.

EF has been showing availability for CX F for a while now however, Asiamiles as well as ba.com are showing full or 0 availability respectively. Any explanations?

It does for me.
It shows inventory, not award space.

The only source for CX award inventory is an airline website such as CX itself or JAL. Some services may screen scrape that data and try to resell it to you, but that's all it is. ExpertFlyer cannot scrape airline data in this way, however we recommend AwardNexus.com as it is also web based and has a free version.
