Seat Alerts

You've booked a trip to your favorite getaway but the plane is full and you're stuck in the middle seat, sound familiar? Let Seat Alerts® by ExpertFlyer help find you a better seat in 3 easy steps:
Category Price Seller Device
Travel Free New Imagitas, Inc. iPhone, iPad, iPod

1. Look up the Seat Map of your flight.
2. Set up a Seat Alert to find window seats, aisle seats and more.
3. Get notified if your preferred seat is found.

Seat Alerts will monitor the available seats right up until the flight departs. If it becomes available you can change your seat when your Seat Alert notification arrives, just contact the airline or the travel agency that booked your ticket. Seat Alerts finds a window or aisle seat better than 75% of the time.

• With a Free account, you can set up one Free Seat Alert at a time using the Any Seat, Any Window or Any Aisle options. Other advanced alert options require a fee.
• Seat maps include SeatGuru® seat ratings so you know which seat is the right seat for you. Just click on a seat to see its rating and review
• If you need multiple Seat Alerts at the same time, additional alerts and alert options are available for purchase
• Supports over 150 airlines that have preassigned seating

Notes about app functionality:
• Account registration is required to use the Seat Alert app, this is so we can notify you of found seats and keep track of your alerts across devices.
• Miles Award or Upgrade searching and alerting is not the same as Seat Map searching and alerting. This app is Seat Map Alerts only. For Miles Awards & Upgrades, please use our website.
• Also works with ExpertFlyer.com Basic and Premium subscriptions to manage your Seat Alerts.
• Seat Alerts checks the seat maps several times a day. If you find and take an open seat before the next check of the alert, you won't be notified.
• To prevent abuse, a limited about of seat maps can be viewed each day, resetting every 24 hrs. Only a single seat map search is needed to create a Seat Alert.

It works and saves you money
JCAMP71

I will gladly pay for the extra alerts because it has always alerted me of available aisle seats.


No more middle seat!
TheKlop

Awesome app! I was stuck in a middle seat on a 5-hour cross country flight and this app found me an aisle seat. Clean interface and very easy to use. Would highly recommend! Thanks ExpertFlyer! Update: Found another aisle seat for a long flight. Really great service!


Not accurate
GigiduzDC

Used only once and seat map was not accurate. I upgraded to my seat about 1 hour prior to flight and at time of take off this app still showed my seat as available. I was checking to see if anyone was sitting next to me.


Useless
PPW306R

Paid for a seat alert on a specific flight and received no notification despite finding the seats I created the alert for available the next day. Waste of money


It Found me an Open Seat on a full flight
完滿人生

It works. This app found me an open seat on a full flight and saved me from upgrading my booking and regularly checking the airline website for open seat. One key feature is missing, no text notification; only email (I thought this is a Mobile App).


Works as expected.
Beeeennnnnnnnnnnn

Found me an aisle as soon as it became available.


got me out of a terrible seat!

As advertised! I was able to get a much better seat.


Nope!

I'm not paying for seat alerts. Sorry. This app is terrible.


Doesn't work as advertised!

I am a very frequent flier. I set up a seat alert to notify me when a better seat was available. I chose half a dozen seats I was hoping to get(aisle, in front of main cabin). I received no email notification, but I just happened to log into my airline account and saw an available seat. This app took my money and was a complete failure. Buyer beware!


Waste!
ChrissAlis

Setup an alert, was charged 99 cents and the alert is no where to be found! App shows 1 free alert left but when I try to set another one I still have to pay 99 cents! What a waste.
