EK issue - trips.net v fabs2

[EK773ER]

morning/afternoon/evening!

anyone know why there are sometimes load discrepancies between trips.net and fabs2?

i am quite sure that when there are differences in load figures then trips.net is the more reliable info....but seeing as fabs2 is updated almost instantaneously, then there should not be any difference.....

shed any light anyone please?

[Praise Jebus]

Firstly for the other ME forum readers this is an EK question

One reason is that FABS2, just like the online check-in numbers, does not always (ever?) include transit pax. It's numbers are good at the flights origin, say DXB but if for example you check the loads SYD to DXB on the 413 it does not include those in transit from AKL and you have no way of knowing that number with FABS2. The best bet is Apollo for a transit station, it's on the FOIP.

As for the TripsNet figures being reliable, ha ha ha ....

I understand that the Trips figures are only updated once a day and FABS is updated almost minute by minute so FABS should be more accurate, especially on the day of departure.

Has anyone got the link for fabs2, it dropped off my iPad/iPhone when I updated to IOS5!

[bidabon]

You are right BigGeordie.

The trips is only updated once a day at midnight, where the FABS gives you real time infos.
That's from the guys in charge.
Cheers

Thread drift here, sooooo now we have this deal with the Orange gang, anyone know if we can interline on them?

[Vrille]

Not a clue on what's being discussed here! Can a mod move the thread to the
EK section? Thank you

Trips is based on historical data and predictions.
FABS is real time.

Easy Vrille; not everyone is a member of the private forum. There are plenty of airline specific threads on PP - if you don't understand this one then move on! Simples...

Hi

Out of interest, I was logging onto trips using a link beginning by "ekstaff" but for the past few days, I have been getting a message saying the server cannot be found anywhere anymore.

I liked that link as it was a lot quicker than using the key fob and wonder if I am the only one who has had that issue. Tried with Mozilla and Safari with the same result.

If you guys have an updated link or an explanation as to what the problem/reason is, please feel free to pm me if you feel like it . Thanks in advance.

Safe flying

Thanks MM5.5
Not sure how I got the link I had used so far but the title of your message did just fine.
A round of green tea on me if we ever fly together

Hi! I'm easy most of the times. But I'm not EK staff and don't intend to be! Therefore this thread is pollution to me! I don't mind EK guys talking about company specific stuff.... But common' what a bore!!!!

[fatbus]

Don't read it then!

Guys there used to be a link on group world where we could see loads for other airlines represented by smiley or sad faces..... Is that link still available I can't find it.

Fliion iOS 6 works fine for me, havn't updated to the 6.1 update released a couple of days ago.

Flilon

Delete your downloads app and then go back to the app store and re-install it. You won't pay for it twice even if it says 'buy' on the page.

[fliion]

Thanks for that...all good now.
