What are Award Flight Alert Services?
As the name suggests, award flight alert services send notifications when great award availability, either in quality, quantity or both, is located. While not for everyone, if you have flexibility in location, dates, and duration of upcoming travel, these alerts really help you. Destinations that you many never have considered, routes, airlines or class of service that you didn't know existed or thought possible are suddenly available and bookable. Overall, for the right person, these services are invaluable.
What is Thrifty Traveler Premium and Premium Plus?
Thrifty Traveler Premium is one of the biggest players in the award flight alert space. The Premium Service, which costs $69.99 per year, sends out regular flight alert emails for domestic and international economy flights. Premium Plus Service, which costs $89.99 per year, sends out flight alert emails and text messages for domestic and international economy, business and first class flights. These alerts include both cash fares, award flights, and mistake/error fares.

ToP Thoughts
When it comes to award flight alert services, ToP says “the more the merrier!” If a service alerts you to even one flight per year that you otherwise would not have booked, the service paid for itself. With a limited-time 40% discount, it is go-time! I signed up yesterday and we think you should, too! Do you have Thrifty Traveler Premium or Premium Plus? Do you have questions about it?
