By utilizing ExpertFlyer alerts, my wife and I have successfully applied all 61 systemwide upgrades we've earned to intercontinental flights.

Always get the seat you want

ExpertFlyer monitors your preferred seat up until departure and notifies you as soon as it opens up—so you never have to settle for the middle seat again.

My single favorite feature is the ability to set alerts. I can't tell you how many times over the years I've found an award seat thanks to ExpertFlyer, or managed to reserve a better seat that opened up.

Travel Hacking Review

"On Monday I am flying FLL-DFW-SMF early in the morning. DFW is a total mess, shut down for most of the morning. In route to DFW my DFW-SMF is cancelled so I am re-booked on a flight Tuesday! I immediately go into "battle" mode, call up AA and fire up Mobile EF. I have AA get me on a late afternoon flight Monday, and setup "Flight Alerts" for the 3 earlier flights to SMF in both Y and F. As changes happen to the flight loads on the DFW-SMF flights, I get an alert a seat in "Y" on an earlier flight has opened up and grab it. A little later I get another alert a seat in "F" has opened and is available for upgrade. Mobile EF got me to my destination only a few hours earlier and in F!! This would not have been possible without EF, and without the Mobile EF!"
