I’ve beforehand written about how utilizing this third-party instrument has revolutionized how I discover one of the best methods to redeem my factors and miles throughout airline packages in seconds. Nevertheless, I identified that the platform wasn’t good; most notably, it didn’t present outcomes from at the least one of many 5 Avios packages.
Fortunately, this has now modified with Seats.aero including Qatar Airways Privilege Membership to its search platform. Qatar Airways gives essentially the most award availability to its personal Privilege Membership members when reserving Qsuite enterprise class and presents restricted associate airline availability.
Nevertheless, I’ve discovered that the Privilege Membership web site is clunky and may be irritating when looking for multiple date at a time.
Seats.aero now gives a straightforward solution to see each redemption seat in enterprise class, together with these not supplied to associate packages. Right here is how.
