Award seat alerts: what they do and what they don't
An alert tells you a seat exists. It doesn't tell you whether your points can reach it, or how.
What a typical alert gives you
Award search tools alert you when availability matching a route and cabin appears. That's genuinely useful — and it's where the work starts, not where it ends.
The gap between an alert and a booking
After an alert, you still need to work out which program prices the seat, whether any of your bank currencies transfer there, how many points to move, and whether the seat is still there. Award Desk does that part and hands you the steps.
