My husband and I have used ExpertFlyer since close to the beginning of our points and miles journey. And while the product languished for a few years in the early 2020s, a dedicated team has been working over the last few years to support and improve it.
I sat down with this team in Puerto Rico in late January to learn about a few of their upcoming features. Today, the team is releasing two of these features: broader American Airlines systemwide upgrade searches and detailed seat maps. However, these features come alongside the introduction of a new Elite membership tier and slightly higher prices for the Premium and Basic tiers. So, here's what you need to know.
But while in the past you could use ExpertFlyer to search only one city pair at a time within a seven-day window (and ExpertFlyer Premium members who don't upgrade to Elite will still find this to be their best option), ExpertFlyer Elite members can now see systemwide upgrade availability across hundreds of routes for the next 330 days.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on The Points Guy Articles.
