Alert service for award availability?

Don't recall seeing this discussed, but...


Trying to find standard availability to EZE in January.


This would involve DL from ATL, CO from IAH, AM from GDL, possibly others.

This was widely available in Feb 06 but nothing this time around. Is there a site that repeatedly searches and notifies if available?

Not really NW related, but expertflyer.com can notify you of these things.

Thanks for pointing this out; let's move this to TravelBuzz! since it has much more to do with award availability services than Northwest WorldPerks.

PS: FWIW, ExpertFlyer does provide notification for award class availability, but do note that only the more expensive plan allows for notification.

Where on expertflyer.com is that tool? I tried searching the site and only get links to travel services such as expedia etc. It looks like just a site of links to links to me.

You may be looking at some other site and not expertflyer.com. We don't have links to Expedia or any other travel booking site.

The Flight Alert function is a feature for Premium subscribers that allows you to set an alert for different paid classes and some upgrade and award classes. Slippahs gave the link for the User's Guide that explains the feature. Here is the link for the upgrade and award classes that are supported:

Thank you,
EFV
