question for expert flyer users
Hello all. I understand that many of you on here are very fluent with the expert flyer site. Question for you?
Is it possible with the paid subscription to...
Set up an alert for an award flight on an American Airlines or partner flight for a specific:
1. date
2. award amount
3. departure city which may have multiple airports (Tokyo for example)
Thanks for the information.

You have to set up a different alert for each flight. Your have a max of 200 active ones at any time (I think you can buy more?). But they are a pain to set up and there's no way to do it in bulk. A friend of mine actually paid someone to set up 200 of them for him.

For AA metal awards unfortunately with the introduction of the dynamic pricing engine, EF alerts are nowhere near as useful.
In the past, you had MileSaaver awards booking into T, U and Z as well as Aanytime Awards booking into Y, J and F. Now you can't really rely on booking codes to tell you when you'll have the best deal.
The T, U, Z buckets seldom show up and AA just prices whatever they feel like booking into Y, J or F.
