As an ExpertFlyer subscriber, I just got the below email. I thought it would be of interest especially to those who dont have the time or the willingness to search for award/ug availability. I think its a great tool that I'll certainly be using. Happy Travels.


Dear ExpertFlyer Premium Subscriber:

You asked for it, and now you have it!

We are pleased to announce the addition of Flight Alerts to your Premium subscription - at no additional charge.

Flight Alerts from ExpertFlyer allows you to tell us what flights you want us to check for upgrade or award availability on an ongoing basis right up to departure time. If we find availability, we'll send an email to up to three addresses to let you know we found availability.

Here's how it works:



Log on to ExpertFlyer.com

Go the My Account section and optionally add up to two more email addresses for Flight Alert Notification. These can be email addresses that go to your cell phone, PDA or PC. Your regular email address will always receive the Flight Alert notification as well.

Click Save

Click on Create Flight Alert in the blue section on the left side of the screen

Enter the flight information you want us to check for you

Check the box if you want a Test message sent to all your email addresses for this Flight Alert

Click Verify and Create

That's it! We'll do the rest.

Flight Alerts are available for the airlines with upgrade/award classes we support. Here is the current list:

Supported Award and Upgrade Classes

We hope you'll enjoy Flight Alerts - our newest addition to your Premium subscription.
