Seats.aero-frequent flyer booking tool

Example

A traveler based in San Francisco (SFO) looking to redeem their miles for a trip to Paris (CDG) in business class can search award availability over a specific date range. The cached search will return available flights from different airlines and mileage programs, such as Air France/KLM Flying Blue, American Airlines, or Delta SkyMiles.

Scenario

The cached search is perfect for users who want to compare award availability from different airlines at a glance. They can search for flights from one or more airports and get results in various classes (economy, business, first) without having to check each airline manually.

Example

A frequent traveler with Chase Ultimate Rewards points might want to transfer them to Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer to book a flight in their luxury first-class suites. By using Seats.aero, the user can filter the results to show flights available through the KrisFlyer program and quickly find if there are first-class seats open for redemption.

Scenario

Seats.aero helps users identify where they can transfer their points for the best value. Users who accumulate points in flexible rewards programs (such as Amex Membership Rewards, Chase Ultimate Rewards) can search across different airline programs to find the optimal flight redemption.

Example

After finding a flight from Los Angeles (LAX) to London (LHR) using British Airways Avios, the user can retrieve specific details about the available flight, such as the flight number, aircraft type, departure time, and the number of available seats.

Scenario

This feature is especially useful for travelers who need detailed flight information to plan their trip, such as departure times or aircraft type preferences (e.g., looking for a flight operated by an Airbus A380).

Example

Once a user has found an award flight they want to book, they can use a direct booking link provided by Seats.aero to go to the airline’s or mileage program’s website and complete the booking.

Scenario

This saves users from the hassle of navigating through airline websites to locate the exact flight they've found in the search results. It ensures they are directly taken to the right place to redeem their miles.

Example

A user searching for a flight from New York (JFK) to Frankfurt (FRA) may want to consider both Star Alliance and OneWorld options. They could get results showing flights from Lufthansa, United Airlines, British Airways, and American Airlines all in one search, comparing the mileage requirements and availability.

Scenario

For travelers open to flying with multiple airlines or alliance partners, this feature enables them to explore all options on a given route, ensuring they can pick the best award seat available across any of their loyalty programs.
