    I use these four webs for checking seat availability. What do you think about them? Are they reliable? Which one is the best?
    I can see some difference between them - for example KVS tells that flight XXX is absolutely full (no free seats in any classes) - but flyzed shows on the same flight and date green smile - so I don't know which information is true.

    I don't trust Flyzed.
    I have seen it with a yellow or red face and yet there were 100+ open seats.

    Hi,

    are you going to fly our very very old A310? I'm flying to USA (JFK or EWR) on 21FEB...not with OK...I think Lufthansa C-class in A330 or B747 will be better for me

    On Friday 06FEB I'm heading to Las Palmas...and I was looking forward A340-600 on this route...but my flight IB808 seems to be pretty full:
    KVS: C9 A9 J9 D9 I9 Y0 B0 H0 K0 M0 L0 V0 S0 N0 P0 Q0 O0
    Expertflyer: C9 A9 J9 D9 I9 YR BR HR KR MR LR VR SR NR PR QR OR

    But Flyzed shows green smile(!)... will rather fly with MD80 Spanair, it sholudn't be overbooked

    Of course on the A-310!
    It will be second time on one because I flew on a SABENA A-310 before.

    Have a fun trip!

    Hehe, It's a risk to fly our A310 Today both our A310 vere delayed about 6 hours due to technical problems on OK-YAC. Sometimes they even cancel flights and pax fly KL or AF. But, of course, it's a nice and quite rare a/c on TATL flights So I wish you a nice flight (not overbooked and not delayed)

    None are very reliable, unfortunatley. Each pulls data from GDS and sometimes invidividual carrier CRS. If the transporting carrier does not send that system true availability then you're seeing junk.
