Advice for watching for award availability

[memesweeper]

Advice please: I used to hold a paid seatspy account, but allowed it to lapse last year. It was on a low ‘early adopters’ rate.

I now want to find seats in Upper for two specific Virgin flights to India – VS300 or V354. I could keep checking the reward flight finder, but it isn’t flight specific, and has no alerting feature.

I’ll happily drop a few pounds trying to search and get a quick alert for what I want, any recommendations on a tool? Seats dot Aero and Seat Spy seem to be the choices.

Seatspy as you say

[memesweeper]

Seatspy offers telegram and WhatsApp alerts (good)
Seats dot Aero offers specific flight number alerts (good)

decisions decisions…

Seats dot Aero also do SMS alerts it turns out…

… so I set an alert for the specific date and flight I wanted, alert fired overnight, tickets booked this morning. 🙂

For BA I found it very useful to make friends with one of their CSA I met in Soi 4, a few drinks did the trick 🙂 Sadly, he has now moved on but I’m not flying BA anymore anyway.
