Seat Alerts & Flight Alerts

Never miss your preferred seat

Monitor your flight's seat map for the exact seat you want, or watch award and upgrade inventory until it opens. ExpertFlyer alerts notify you the moment your criteria are met.

ExpertFlyer lets you monitor the seats and flights that matter most to you. Set a Seat Alert to be notified when a window, aisle, exit row, or specific seat opens on your booked flight. Set a Flight Alert to watch award space, upgrade inventory, or fare class availability on any route. The Free plan includes one Seat Alert. Paid plans unlock up to 250 alerts at a time across both alert types.

What Seat Alerts can monitor

Window and aisle seats

Watch for preferred seat types to open before departure so you can move quickly.

Exit rows and extra-legroom seats

Track exit-row availability and get notified as soon as those seats appear on the seat map.

Seats together when traveling with someone

Look for two or more adjacent seats to open at the same time so you and your companion can sit side by side.

Specific seat numbers

Select exact seats, such as 12A or 14C, and get notified the moment one becomes available.

Create your first Seat Alert

Enter flight details, load the seat map, select Create Seat Alert, choose what to monitor, verify and start monitoring, then receive a notification when a matching seat opens.
