TripIt Pro Adds Seat Alerts

 If you use the popular TripIt program to track your trips, reservations information and where friends are traveling to they just added a new feature to their premium service, TripIt pro (Free 30-day trial and then $49 a year after that), that allows you to track your desired seat and get an alert when it opens up.

We've all been there, well you upper tier elites may not have this problem, where we have a seat, but it's not the seat we really want. The new seat alert feature on TripIt pro would allow you to put in your travel plans and set a seat alert for your preferred seats and they will send you an e-mail if it opens up.

Features like this are already available through ExpertFlyer, but if you want the other features of TripIt, such as alerts about flight delays, gate changes and cancelations; alternative flights in case you are delayed; a points tracking feature; see if you are elibgible for a refund; share your travel plans with your friends and family; and a 1-year membership to Hertz #1 Club Gold and Regus Gold along with access to 1,200 business lounges worldwide.

  1. I'd be willing to bet that this is simply the ExpertFlyer product being sold through a white-label partnership with TripIt.

    1. Good move on ExpertFlyer's part then I would think.
