New York, NY – December 30, 2009 – ExpertFlyer.com, the premier air travel information tool offering complete and efficient ways to access the ever changing details of worldwide air travel information, announced today that its proprietary Awards & Upgrades feature, combined with Flight Alerts which conducts automatic and frequent searches, found more than 2,000 Award tickets and Business / First Class upgrades for its subscribers during the busiest travel season -- the time between Thanksgiving and New Years. In addition, the website's new Seat Alerts^® feature, announced on November 13, found more than 450 "occupied seats" that became available prior to the flight's departure. Seat Alerts^® monitors entire fleets of more than 84 airlines worldwide and searches for available seats typically occupied at the time of booking. The service is available to ExpertFlyer Premium subscribers at no additional cost.

ExpertFlyer makes the process of finding Award and Upgrade inventory fast and simple by eliminating the time-consuming and frustrating process of manual searches and continuous calls to airline frequent flyer departments. Now, with the introduction of Seat Alerts^®, subscribers receive automated updates for requested Award tickets, Upgrades, and preferred seating on one screen for easy monitoring.

"ExpertFlyer is the only website that offers automatic and comprehensive search tools for finding Award tickets, Upgrades, and preferred seating when none may exist at the time of booking," says Chris Lopinto, President and Co-founder of ExpertFlyer.com. "We continue to provide business travelers and frequent flyers with ways to maximize their travel budgets while minimizing the time and frustration associated with manual searches. Our goal is to help our customers adjust to the way business travel has changed and provide them with the tools to assist with changes in the travel industry," Mr. Lopinto added.

Since ExpertFlyer first introduced Flight Alerts in April, 2006, the website has found more than 35,000 Award tickets and Upgrades for its subscribers, which translates to millions of dollars in customer savings.

ExpertFlyer's ability to consistently find Awards and Upgrades for its subscribers can be credited to three primary website features: Flight Alerts, which notifies passengers if an award or upgrade becomes available on specified flights; Awards & Upgrades, which makes it even easier for subscribers to initiate an award or upgrade search; and Mobile Access, a feature which allows subscribers to access account information including saved Flight Queries, Flight Alerts and Seat Maps from anywhere in the world.
