ExpertFlyer Alerts You When Better Airplane Seats Are Available, Gets You onto Sold Out Flights [Travel]

Hate being stuck in the middle seat? You don't have to wait until boarding time to find a better seat on the plane, thanks to ExpertFlyer's "Seat Alert," which tells you as soon as a seat you want becomes available.

Creating an alert is simple: search the ExperFlyer seat map for your flight, then check the types of seats you prefer (window, aisle, exit row seats, 2 seats together, or specific seats). Useful for sold out flights, you can create a seat alert for any seat. When the seat you want is found, you'll get an email notification and then you can call the airline to change or buy your seat.

ExpertFlyer also incorporates ratings from previously reviewed Seat Guru so you can select the ideal seat.

The free ExpertFlyer account includes one Seat Alert at a time. If you're a frequent traveler or need multiple Seat Alerts, you can buy them for $0.99 each or sign up for a paid monthly account with more features, starting at $4.99.
