About 2 years ago, I signed up to be a individual travel agent via Sabre and got direct access to the Sabre system. Sabre gave me a program that I have downloaded onto my laptop (mysabre). Check out the link below for more details:

Or Call with questions: 682 605 5525. The .pdf indicates you need to have a sponsor agency. I just called and explained that I wanted the service as an individual account and they were OK with this. I travel a ton and love to check the latest info on flights (sold out, new routings, etc). Here is an example display:

This is exactly what a travel agent sees on his/her screens. Some awards seats are available (Delta is not). Although Delta upgrades buckets (V and G) are available. I believe AA award buckets are shown.

You have to learn the codes that travel agents use to pull up availability and fares, but there are help sections to learn this. For $45 a month it has been worth it for me.
