2. Availability alerts. I want 2 F seats on SFO-NRT on August 8. Tell me if/when they become available.

I'm hoping this will actually reduce usage (and therefore, my costs), because rather than 50 people all searching SFO-NRT for August 8 every day, they can all just set an alert, and then only 1 search needs to be done every day, automatically.


Edit:
Still nowhere near being ready, but:
