Good UI, Easy to set alerts however not fit for purpose. Paid for Premium but didn't receive any alerts from the searches I set up. Luckily I was checking daily directly with the airline (BA)... See more

Really good design, but let down by spotty support and recent problems, some created by BA. For some unknown reason which SeatSpy won't address, they've stopped showing award seats for 352-355 days be... See more

Excellent!

SeatSpy has provided an excellent service, and has enabled me to get the seats I want, to the destinations I want. Without SeatSpy, this would not have been possible! This is definitely worth it, easy to use and understand! I would highly recommend.

Sydney to London Club Class Avios Success

I recently used Seatspy Ltd to set up an alert for the holy grail of Club Class Avios allocated seating from Sydney to London for March 2021...it was invaluable, and kept me informed as soon as seats were released. It was good to know that someone else was looking out for me when either I was too busy or had forgotten to check. I have since signed up to Seatspy and pay a very reasonable monthly fee for a great service.

Not useful during COVID-19 lockdown

To be honest, it has been a waste of time and money during this COVID-19 pandemic.
I am hoping it will prove its worth when we are able and ready to plan our next holiday.
It would have been nice to be offered a free extension for this lockdown period.

Worked brilliantly!!

Signed up to Founders deal & it worked superb. Got the text about availability & immediately acted on it, managing to get the whole family a mix of First Class & Business class out to Vancouver.

Just great!

Just a great system to actually enable you to use your miles! So hard worth BA directly, but so easy worth SeatSpy. Love it.

Brilliant system!!

Brilliant system!!! Saves hours going through the Virgin and BA websites looking for award space. Have secured Virgin Upper Class reward seats on 2 separate occasions since using SeatSpy with minimal effort.

Excellent new travel tool.

Really easy to use. Gives clear information speedily and saves so much time having to search the airline sites for reward seat availability. Additional feature is that you can set up notifications to get instant availability updates for any selected travel period. ar

Got flight with minimum effort

System is superb. I needed an Upper Class flight on Virgin Atlantic on a specific date. I was notified as soon as the seat became available and this saved me from having to check the Virgin website on a daily basis. There had been problems with the Virgin website and on occasions I was unable to access it for several hours. Seatspy saved me an immense amount of time which I would have wasted looking and for the small amount of money it cost for membership - well it's worth every penny. I got the seat I wanted with minimal effort - thank you for a great reasonably priced convenient service.

Frequent flyer points life made easy

Frequent flyer life made easy,
Saved me so much time, so quick to work out who or what airline miles scheme I wanted to use and where to go. Then offered availability across all class of seats for the year ahead, just brilliant

A nightmare now a dream

It used to be a nightmare trawling through various airline sites, when you are a user of 5 airline points schemes. Seatspy calms me down with one portal to see what is available, and often in advance of airlines' own search engines. Easy to navigate...and just utterly brilliant. Still using you years on....

The service works fine.. but

The service works fine, its actually very good, but offering a prize to leave a positive review is why reviews can no longer be trusted. :-(

Hi! Happy to hear you like the service. We offered entry into a prize draw to encourage reviews, but there is certainly no requirement to leave a positive one. All reviews regardless of rating are eligible and we want to hear all kinds of feedback - especially if it helps us make improvements.

Best site for award seat searches

Excellent site - the best around for award seat searching. It's attractive, intuitive and easy.

The paid-for features are worth their weight in gold if you find what you're after.
