Seats.aero - a useful tool for finding Qantas & Velocity reward availability

[goldenhorn]

My annual sub is due soon. Does anyone know or can guess whether SQ availability is gone forever?

Why don't you email their support? I've found them to be highly responsive and quick in answering questions.

Paging @Seats.aero to the white courtesy phone.

Does anybody here know more information about Qantas reward availability.
Gold and Platinum Qantas members get earlier access to rewards seats. Does seats.aero show this availability in the results, or just the availability to the general public i.e. Bronze members?

Clearly I am too slow, but we do have SQ Advantage inventory back (in a separate tool) and it is reliable. However, I think it's unlikely that the rest will come back in the near term.

We only show inventory bookable to everyone for Qantas. We have started supporting elite inventory for some programs if you enable it in Settings, but I don't think we have a way to see this inventory on QF today.

Hi, all,
I'm trying to renew my Seats.Aero subscription. I have a discount code but am unsure where it gets applied.
I can see a screen which lists my current subscription (expiring in the next day or so), which states the cost of the subscription, my payment method (the cards attached to Stripe), and my subscription history.
I don't see where to apply the code. Perhaps I'm not on the correct screen.
Some assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Generally, coupon codes can only be applied to new accounts or in some cases existing accounts that have expired. You could wait for your account to be cancelled if the code is eligible, or contact support@ and they may be able to apply it.

Thanks for the information, @SeatsIan.
That's unfortunate. I have a discount code - so, apart from creating a new account, there'd be no way of using it?

Even if I cancel the subscription, wait for the date to lapse, then sign up for another annual subscription?

I'd suggest emailing support@ with your specific code so we can look into the terms. Generally though we don't run promotions for active users; some can be applied to accounts that have lapsed.

I am having trouble finding more than ONE seat availability for routes from HND-HEL. It is almost always one seat.

Is there something I am doing wrong / a better tool out there / have to book one and then keep checking in the hope for another classic reward to open up?

Thanks.

I have just renewed my paid subscription and quite frankly now finding it nearly useless. Comes up with available seats but when you go to get the details it comes up with “This can’t be shown at present. Especially for AA and Velocity awards.
I found much more looking at our AA accounts. Need to improve for me to continue my subscription.

Couldn't disagree more. Have alerts set up for what I need and have scored heaps of seats that I would never have got otherwise.

 

[Captain Halliday]

Separate to the issue of finding award inventory, I’ve set up multiple alerts for seat availability and never had one activate.

For example, I’ll set an alert for the seat I select on a flight so I’m notified if I get bumped.

But even when I select a different seat closer to departure, the alert never fires to say my originally selected seat is vacant.

 

[XavierP]

Actually my alerts are definitely firing, and I can find the availability for QF program at least.

My prob is that it is always just ONE seat (at least on this sector)! Has anyone else had more than one continuously and not once in a blue moon?

I'm not sure that is going to work as you are assuming if you are bumped that the seat goes back into award inventory which in my experience (of switching seats not being bumped) never does.

I think you'd need to send your complaints to Finnair if thats the case they are the ones after all with inventory control.

I find that the search at least gives me a good "vibe" or broad brush approach to what is available and what isn't. It definitely saves quite a bit of repetitive searching and date changing and session relogging-in and so forth.

I accept that there are accuracy discrepancies between Seat.aero (both live and cached) and the FFs themselves, though to say they are disastrously inaccurate to the point that the subscription isn't worth it at all is a bit too far. I suppose I could spend my money on better things, but....

AY seats always seem quite difficult to nab, especially in Business and on the longer haul. Before seats.aero existed, I would keep checking using Qantas or AA, and I can only ever see one AY longhaul J seat (even Europe J seats, which are more frequent but still only one seat), and of course that wasn't even that often.
