And the evening flight isn’t bad either.
I’d suggest #1735, gives you the afternoon to lie on the beach
Have fun

GOOD DEAL!

Thanks a lot....I will have a red stripe in your Honour!

So last night when checking my ATL-MIA am flight all of a sudden 21 folks jumped ahead of me and the load also went to -10..... as late as 1:0am when I finally went to sleep.

I called off the am trip only to check this morning to see they actually added a flight at 7:00 am and flew a plane with only about 12 people on board to MIA............oh well I hope the evening MIA/KIN s still OK for ZED on AA

While not a wide toothy grin, the flight gods are still smiling on that late flight.
Good luck and do let us know how it goes.

So many twists and turns .....so I decided to make my sacrifice to the nonrev gods. My flight to MIA would have been around 2 or 3 pm so I decided to try for the ATL-MBJ flight -12:10 pm ...hey what did I have to lose? Even though the flight had a bunch of HKs (more than 10) and showing a -7 coach 0 first/business Load...i tried anyway.

Well.........we not only got on the flight but there were a few seats left open...heck we almost got into first class...oh the pleasures on flying nonrev....thanks for you help

Thats the dealwith non-reving. A flight can look terrible but you end up getting on anyways. And sometimes it's the other way around, a flight looks great up until you show up and fills up at the last minute.

Regards,

AA uses ID90 as it's non-rev flight listing tool so the information you see there will be more precise than what you see on any other site. In part becasue ID90 pulls data from Sabre (AA's GDS). Also, the formula used on the ID90 site takes into account that the non-revs looking at it are more than likely OAL employees who tend to be farther down on the priority list than AA employees and family, so the odds are lower than if they were AA employees or family. That's reflected in the response you see @ ID90, but not in what you see on FlyZED. FlyZED is a generic formula applicable to all airlines. The availabiltiy you see on FlyZED is pulled from Amadeus.
