What Is Thrifty Traveler Premium?

Thrifty Traveler’s award alert service, Thrifty Traveler Premium, sends subscribers emails and texts about flight deals. That includes everything from ultra-rare award availability for flying first and business class with points and miles to dirt-cheap cash fares. It even regularly uncovers mistake fares and those rare unicorn deals. Members can choose to personalize their alerts to get deals only from their home airport(s)—including more than 200 options in the U.S. and Canada—or to get anything and everything in between. In addition to email alerts, members can log into Thrifty Traveler’s website to browse all the current deals. Read our full guide to Thrifty Traveler Premium here.
