Get Frequent Flier Award seat alerts with Yapta.com
Collecting air miles is all fine and dandy but trying to keep track of when you can redeem them for a specific flight isn’t always easy. Now it is, because Yapta.com has launched a completely free service which will alert members by email when they’re able to exchange their air miles for a specific seat.
At the moment the service works with Alaska Airlines, United, Delta, Continental, and U.S. Airways, although more may be added soon as the service grows.
When you search and find the fight and airfare you’re seeking, Yapta then gives you the option to track both the airfare and the award seat availability on specific flights. At any point that a seat is available or the airfare is lowered, Yapta then sends and email to you.
That’s pretty darn handy!

Great find Sherry! I was worried it would be a USA-centric sort of service but happily searched out some Toronto->Montreal flights. One thing that bothers me about searching is you have to specify airport A to airport B, instead of cities. Makes finding flights in areas you’re not familiar with a little harder.
