Move alerts from Seats.aero to AwardTool

Take it out

1. 1

   Step 1

   Open the alerts you still want

   Log in at seats.aero and open Alerts, then Manage Alerts. The alert article describes active alerts, expired alerts, and a recreate action. It does not describe a file export. Leave the account in place until the list is copied.

2. 2

   Step 2

   Write down each alert

   For each one, save the name, origin, destination, dates, mileage programs, cabins, and filters such as direct flights or a points cap. Note whether it is one-off or continuous, and whether it emails you, texts you, or uses the phone app. Fare-class alerts and United upgrade alerts are separate sections on that page. Copy them too if you still use them.

   Step 3

   Copy a search link if you have one

   seats.aero's account article says you can copy a search or alert link and open it in another account. A link is a reminder. It does not create the alert in AwardTool.

Put it in

1. 1

   Step 1

   Open a free AwardTool account

   AwardTool's FAQ says a free account includes 4-day real-time searches, 90 days of route data, and 3 award alerts. You can open route calendars and Live Seat Map without signing in. Create the account before you delete anything on seats.aero.

2. 2

   Step 2

   Search the route, then create the alert

   Run the route as a real-time search and confirm the award price on the airline's site before you move points. Then create an award alert. Free accounts stop at 3 alerts. The FAQ says Pro adds 100 advanced alerts with SMS, unlimited Panorama alerts, and real-time searches anywhere in the next 365 days.

   Step 3

   Pay for Pro only if you need the year or the texts

   On November 7, 2026, AwardTool's FAQ lists Pro at $12.99 a month or $109.99 a year on the website. It says prices in the iOS and Android apps can differ. A free account is enough for a short-date search and three alerts.

What you lose

• Nothing transfers for you

  Alert groups, expired-alert history, and nicknames stay in seats.aero. AwardTool will not read that list. Recreate only the routes you still plan to book.

• The old Seats.aero price

  seats.aero's billing article, updated October 26, 2026, says an active subscription keeps its rate. Cancel and subscribe again later, and checkout uses the price on offer then. Milesopedia says that price is $12.99 a month or $109.99 a year from November 9, 2026, and that the terms leave older pricing at the company's discretion. You can leave Pro running while you try AwardTool.

• Monthly to annual is a new annual price

  If you stay on seats.aero and switch monthly to annual, you take the annual price that day. The old monthly rate does not come back. The register page still showed $99.99 a year on November 7, 2026. Milesopedia says that annual price becomes $109.99 on November 9.

• Date window, texts, and tools that do not match

  AwardTool's free real-time search is a few days, not the whole free seats.aero window. SMS and a year of dates are Pro. seats.aero's register page lists a United PN/PZ finder. AwardTool's FAQ does not. Program lists differ. Confirm the seat with the airline before you transfer points.
