Travel Tools - ExpertFlyer question re R fares

Is the only way to get an automated update/email from ET on R class availability to sign up for $10/month service. I probably need that feature one to two times/year so it's a bit price for me and I can't find the 99 cent one-time usage option either (like you can do with the seats)

Any advice from folks?

Thanks

Hi eagle007. The monthly service is monthly with no long term commitment. So just activate the subscription when you need it, and once the Flight Alert is finished, cancel the renewal until you need it again.

The $.99 one-time usage option for non-subscribers is only for Seat Alerts, not Flight Alerts.

I have no idea what your travel habits are, and I have no vested interest in it (other than being a subscriber), but my guess is you'll be surprised how much you use ET. It's by far the best $100 I've spent as far as ROI...

R availability is one thing (which hopefully united will sort out on its own, so UGs will clear correctly and you won't have to watch), but If you ever use miles for flights, the saver award alerts are terrific for finding seats which open up, saving some serious miles. Even helps if you've already booked standard awards, as you can change once you've booked.
