Let Seat Alerts® by ExpertFlyer help find you a better seat in 3 easy steps: 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.

I know I can do the same things (and much more) on the website, but I do 95% of this from my phone and the website just isn’t particularly great for that. It was obvious this app hadn’t had a major update in years, but it was so handy and the info could change my travel day from an uncomfortable one to a breeze. I sure hope they release a new working one. I’ve paused my membership until then, however my hopes aren’t terribly high. ### 1/5 — Worthless *2025-06-29, version 1.96* My airline is not included. ### 1/5 — No longer working *2025-06-24, version 1.96* This app as of two days ago is no longer working. It now asks for a login but signing in, signing up and forgot password just gives an error which sends you in an endless loop. Will be finding an alternative. ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2025-06-18, version 1.96* This app requires a log in to use & unless specified, they sell your information. Does not provide general seat information only seat alerts. ### 5/5 — Great App *2025-06-16* No other app has this much information. It’s a bit old but still the information is amazing. ### 1/5 — Didn’t find flight *2025-05-18, version 1.96* Useless. On May 18, 2025 failed to find Philippines Airline flight. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work at all anymore *2025-04-14, version 1.96* This app and expertflyer have gone way downhill. App looks like it’s from the 90s and notifications never work. Don’t waste your time. ## Frequently asked questions about Seat Alerts ### What does Seat Alerts do?
