Hi where has the Bucket class checker gone???
I want to check if my flight is Full/oversold.
Has it been taken off the site?

I put a note in the website topic regardling its removal. The data source for the checker has been withdrawn. However, there is a note in the website topic which points at a standalone tool which can still do the bucket class checks.

While the standalone bucket checker you have posted is a nice tool, it does not provide accurate information for US domestic flights.

As far as I know, the only tool currently available to perform this function is at Amex's travel website, ITN (http://www.itn.net).

Virgin Flyer's bucket checker was superior because it was accurate, it did not require the user to login, and the check could be performed with a minimal number of steps.

Please bring back the Virgin Flyer bucket checker!

Edited to add: Should have posted under the Website topic.

Wish I could, but sadly the (Sabre) data source dried up.

Might it be possible to use ITN's data source?
