How about "Please advise us of your flight details as soon as they are available"?
Hi Daruma, that sounds good enough :)Quote:

It doesn't appear to be the most logical practical grammar form to use here. Also, someone is asking about a flight, but there should be something about the flight that one is asking about. And lastly, I would say that "advise" is used improperly here. I would use "tell" or "inform". Take a look at the usage note from Answers.com: advise: West's Encyclopedia of American Law (Full Article) from Answers.com. It could be acceptable to use "advise" this way, but I recognized immediately that it was rather odd and confirmed this by checking the dictionary usage note.Quote:
