Seats.aero features
Unlike other similar services, Seats.aero is known for SPEED, as the server delivers cached award availability. For this reason, there may be slight inaccuracies when the search results first load. But if you wait a few more seconds, it will be updated with live results.
Here are my favourite seats.aero features:
1) Search award availability across multiple FFPs
As mentioned earlier, Seats.aero has a free account that allows you to search for award availability across all supported Frequent Flyer Programs (FFPs) with basic filters. However, this is limited to the next 60 days only.
The Pro account allows award searches and alerts up to 365 days ahead, and with advanced filters.
Note: Seats.aero covers thousands of routes, but unpopular ones may not be supported.
Supported FFPs include:
- Air Canada Aeroplan
- Air France/KLM Flying Blue
- Alaska Atmos Rewards
- American Airlines
- Emirates Skywards
- Finnair Plus
- Qantas Frequent Flyer
- Qatar Airways Privilege Club
- Turkish Airlines Miles&Smiles
- United MileagePlus
Note: Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer has been facing an outage on Seats.aero for over a year.
2) Search hotel award availability
While Seats.aero is famous for searching flight awards, it also has a great tool for searching hotel awards called Rooms.aero.
This feature is also available to users with a free account, but limited to the next 60 days. Pro users can search up to 365 days ahead.
At the moment, this features covers hotels in the following hotel loyalty programs:
- Marriott Bonvoy
- World of Hyatt
- Hilton Honors
- Choice Privileges
- IHG One Rewards
There is also a great tool to search the cheapest hotel of each loyalty program, around the world or in a particular country. This is useful for those looking to do a mileage run. Use this page for Marriott Bonvoy.
3) Create alerts for award availability
Users can create unlimited alerts for Flight or Hotel award availability. With this time-saving feature, you wouldn’t need to manually monitor award availability.
Here’s how an award availability email alert looks like. The system detected First Class award availability from Tokyo Haneda to London Heathrow on ANA THE Suite. As availability is found on United MileagePlus, it is most-likely bookable on other partner FFPs like:
- Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer
- EVA Air Infinity MileageLands
4) Seat Map Viewer
Seats.aero Pro users have access to the Seat Map Viewer, to check which seats (across all classes) are blocked, occupied or available. Users can also create alerts, when chosen seats become available.
This feature is useful for:
- Monitoring bulkhead seats
- Monitoring window seats
- Monitoring together seats (for couples and families)
5) Fare Class viewer
Pro users can use the fare class viewer to see all available fare classes. This is useful for travellers who want to check the remaining Lite or Promo cash fares that are still available on a particular flight.
6) Find award availability with AI Assistant
Seats.aero Pro users can also use the time-saving AI Assistant (still in Beta) to search for award availability.
To put it to the test, I’ve prompted it to list Business Class award availability for flights from Singapore to Japan in the super-peak travel month of December, just a week away from the time of this article.
Here is the result:
Cross-checking this on American Airlines website, aa.com, I found 3 available Business Class seats on 26 Dec 2025, as found by the AI assistant:
With this availability on AA, travellers can book the flight with 41,500 Finnair Avios, which can be earned via selected miles credit cards in Singapore. In case you’re wondering, Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer is asking 161,000 miles for a one-way Business Class flight to Tokyo on the same date:
7) Check award release schedule
As shared in Suitesmile Chat last month, you can now check award release dates on seats.aero, for supported frequent flyer programs.
Is Seats.aero useful for Singapore-based travellers?
Let’s quickly run through what seats.aero can or cannot do for Singapore-based travellers, when it comes to flight awards and alerts:
✅ Finnair awards on any FFP
✅ ANA awards on any FFP
✅ Air France/KLM awards on Flying Blue
✅ Qatar Airways awards on Privilege Club
✅ Cathay Pacific awards on non-Asia Miles FFPs
✅ EVA Air awards on non-Infinity MileageLands FFPs
The following airlines have different pools of award availability on their own FFPs. They are not supported by seats.aero on their own FFPs.
❌ Cathay Pacific awards on Asia Miles
❌ EVA Air awards on Infinity MileageLands

Other great features work as expected:
