V-Flyer

Will be travelling on at least 4 occasions next year, is Expertflyer.com worth subscribing to. Would like any members views on this service, Cheers [y]

Hi Stevieboy, and welcome [y]:)

Yes, several of us have it and make use of it (it saves you having to ask other members how full a flight is, what seats are taken, what aircraft is scheduled, etc )

The other benefit is the ability to look through all the different fare rules/restrictions and costs for ranges of dates. For me, personally, it's worth the money. With 4 trips next year - it probably will be for you too.


As a member of this site, you can take advantage of the 10 free uses (or 10% discount on subscription later on) for expertflyer to see if it gives you what you need before actually buying... [:I]

Preiffer, Many Thanks for your warm welcome
Looks like I will be taking your advice and subscribing (anything to save Money!)

I had previously read the forum on Expertflyer.com in the frequent flyer lounge, however, it just seemed full of things that were wrong or missing from the service, but your word is good enough for me, better get my credit card out,
Regards,

I find it very useful, especially for the seatmaps. Now that the availability function in the V-Tool is no more, ExpertFlyer is also the recommended source of that info now.

I must add my 2p worth to this to say that Expertflyer.com is well worth the full subscription. If you fly with a particular airline a bit and leaqrn how their upgrade system works, using expertflyer can really help maximise your chances for an upgrade. It is also fantastic when you want to try out a whole host of different flight combinations to make use of cheaper tickets. In short, I have used it for the past year (almost) and have found it fantastic value for money.

Yep, I agree I am full subscription and I use this without fail on a weekly basis. In fact I use this in preference on the VS website to ensure that there have been no changes to my intended aircraft's seat layout etc

Just out of interest how much is the subscription a year.
