Hi guys,

I've got these results for VS200 flying tonight from expertflyer.com:

J7 D7 Z7 W7 S7 K7 Y2 B2 L2 M2 Q2 X1 N1

What does this mean for Economy? Are there only 2 seats left??!!

(I tried doing a search and looking around the FAQs but I couldn't find anything. Maybe I'm just blind.... [:#])

Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

Cheers,
Fish

That means that they are only selling two seats, but the flight may already be overbooked down the back, as they usually sell more seats than there are on the aircraft, based upon past history of No-shows on the flight. The good news is that the top cabins look like they have a bit of room left....

edited for spelling. Oops![:I]

Woohoo!!

I'm flying on a G class fare today and my friend is flying N. I'm hoping for chances to upgrade my friend from N to UC using miles.

Fingers crossed!!!

Thanks!!

Cheers,
Fish

This section does need updating to reflect the demise of the web-based tool and incorporate ExpertFlyer, but it should help.

Cheers

There's only two Y class left. Most of the others are economy fares with their own restrictions and rules on them.

It's not at all unusual to show this little availibility on the 200.
