Same with AC327 YUL-YYC 9/11/25, which yesterday was also generating an error; it now works and returns "Airbus A220-300", while other AC flights say "223".

But it also appears that the new version of the site only returns one error when an aircraft change alert fails. For instance, with airlines like DM or SI that don't make seat maps available, it returns the same generic "Failed to create alert Please try again, if the problem persists contact support". Before the switch to the new site, it would reject the alert with a message that seat maps were not available for this airline.

I'm still not sure why a seat map is necessary when the flight schedule alert shows the type though...

Odd that focus is on developing new features rather than fixing what has been broken for months now.

Some people found those alerts useful - so they know if they have selected a seat in advance, and the airline then changes the J/Y config, they are at risk of being seat shifted to a random sub-optimal seat wherever the computer drops them into, so they should check their seating allocation to see what has happened.

Hey all,

We just released a new feature called "Quick Alerts" to make alert creation faster and easier. This lets you create multiple alert types directly from one form.

Right now, you'll see this as a standalone feature (accessible via the feature menu), but over the next couple of days we'll be integrating it into the results pages themselves (flight availability, awards and upgrades).

Creating individual alerts for each of the classes (C, J, R, D, I, Y, B, H, K, M, L, G, V, S, N, Q, O) for a single flight is currently painful. Perhaps a modified GUI to pre-populate the dropdown with the different fare classes plus an "any/all" option? Or even a multi-select control would work. (but ANY would be quickest)

This is useful for frequent travelers that are looking for alternate flights that are currently sold out- I've used it successfully to find space, but had to create over a dozen alerts for each flight of interest


.... Unless there is a way to do it, and I don't know how
