OK, so I'm probably being the proverbial dumb ***k here, but I've just been looking on that super Availability Tool doobery for VS033, LGW-ANU, 17/04/04. It shows no available UC seats (J,D,Z)- REQUESTED CLASS OF SERVICE UNAVAILABLE, to be precise. It shows no PE, but does have Y from row 34. Meanwhile, Expedia show a standard LGW 747 UC layout with a few free seats.

I'm already booked UC on this flight, so no big deal, just a little curious really...

I didn't bother entering a class of service and I got this

LGW ANU 17/1045 1425 VS 33 J3 D3 Z1 W0 S0 K0 Y7 B7 L7 744
LGW ANU 16/1055 1435 VS 33 J4 D4 Z4 W4 S7 K4 Y7 B7 L7 744
LGW ANU 14/1030 1410 VS 33 J4 D4 Z3 W2 S2 K2 Y7 B7 L7 744

so the 17th goes at 10:45 and seems to have 3 J etc...

Thanks Decker. Just tried that myself. Still won't show a seat map though.

How can i access that booking tool?

It would be great to look at my upcoming flights, or is it only accessable by certian people?

It's available here:

http://www.stud.ntnu.no/~hartberg/ft/SabretoolSetup.htm

Load the web page then just click one of the pics to download the setup program

It's available to all but does cycle it availability - up for 2 hrs then down for 5 hrs every day

You could always try the Amex version. Doesn't show up W class, but still useful.

Another useful tool to add to the collection - thanks buffers.

Hi Guys

Can I ask, with these avaiability checkers the highest number of seats I ever seem to see is 7 in each class, does anyone know is this the default, or am I just magically always looking at flights with only 7 seats in each class

E.G.: J7 D7 Z7 S7 Y7 B7 L7 M7 Q7 X0 N0 0 0
Granted X N O are Zero but this is august

Cheers

Hi bluefish

I always took that to mean there's at least 7 seats available in that class, since whenever I've gone to travel agents before and they've looked up flights/holidays on the screen that's typically what they'll say

Cheers

Yes, 7 is the default number and in real terms it means the class is wide open.

I've noticed that with Availability tool, it will not show a seat map when there's no availability in that particular cabin.
