v-flyer Subscriber levels/load check/expert flyer

Hi everyone.

Just signed up to the new version of the site and have a question about the subscriber levels for v-flyer, e.g. red, black etc.

Is the only difference the price and how often you pay, or are there different benefits.

Also a question about load check - I noticed people posting results from this and was wondering what all the letters and numbers are?

Finally, on Expert Flyer, which is presumably where load check comes from, can you actually check what seats are available? for example last year flew to NYC(Airbus) but back from MCO on a 747 - and for the first time ever we couldn't get in the bubble for PE - gutted. It would be nice to be able to check esp as we were fairly flexible on dates that time.

Thanks

load checks that appear here usually do come from expert flyer however there some who have access to other systems from within VS. any fare code (letter) with a 9 next to it has 9 or more seats available and then reducing as the number decreases.
the fare codes have a description in the toolbox section

you can see which seats are available on expert flyer however i would only use this to get an idea of seats and loads as different systems show slightly different data.

EDIT: to correct spelling.

Regarding the different membership levels, there is no added benefits to any of the levels, they all offer the same extra benefits, so it is as you say just length of membership.

The majority of the site is free to view and post in, and the tools are free to browse and use also.
