Reward Flight Finder introduces flight-by-flight BA reward seat search and Alerts

Travel at preferred times:

Filter for specific flight times when running a search or creating an Alert. Gold members will only be shown and notified about flights at times they want to travel, which is particularly beneficial for those who want to arrive at their destination at the time most suitable for them, be it for work or a holiday. 

Fly from preferred airports: 

Limit Searches and Alerts to specific airports. This is beneficial for routes where British Airways serves multiple airports within a city, such as London to New York. Users can choose to focus on the airport that is most convenient for them.

Pick a flight number for a favoured aircraft or seat type:

Restrict Alerts or Searches to particular flight numbers, which can be useful for identifying flights with a preferred aircraft type or seat configuration, such as the British Airways Club Suite.

Track existing bookings for upgrades:

Watch a specific flight number on a specific day that you’ve already booked, and get notified when seats become available in a higher cabin, so you can bag an upgrade with Avios.

Monitor a specific flight and date to join family or friends on board:

Set up an Alert for a specific flight number on a specific day, and be notified when a seat becomes available on that specific flight. Invaluable for those looking to coordinate travel with family or friends who have already booked their seats.

RFF Gold members can access the specific flight reward seat availability and set Alerts through the website, rewardflightfinder.com, or the RFF mobile app, available on iOS and Google Play. This new feature allows members to plan their Avios travel in more detail before booking with British Airways.

The new flight-by-flight availability feature comes as a result of customer feedback, and follows a range of customer experience enhancements over the last year, including the release of our new mobile app. The RFF mobile app delivers British Airways reward seats availability information and Alerts for up to 355 days ahead, the only independent UK app to offer this feature. 

Douglas Rose, CEO of RFF, said: “Providing the best service possible for our members, and giving Avios collectors and British Airways Club members what they really want from a reward seat tool is our primary goal as a business. By having flight-by-flight availability at their fingertips, people can use the tool to their advantage to get ahead of the crowd, particularly on routes such as the Maldives, Bangkok and Singapore, or in British Airways Club Suite where it’s increasingly difficult to snap up British Airways reward seats.

Over the last 10 years, we’ve helped thousands of people save thousands when flying in premium cabins; this feature means we'll be able to help more people, more effectively, than ever before. Flight-by-Flight is the most impactful change we’ve made to RFF ever.”
