Yes — there are several services that monitor award-seat availability and can send alerts when the fare class you need opens up. Below is a concise list of the commonly used tools, what they do, and quick pros/cons so you can pick the best fit.

Main tools that send award-seat alerts

• ExpertFlyer — Very widely used. Lets you search award space, set availability alerts for specific routes/dates/classes, view seat maps and upgrade space. Paid (monthly or yearly). Best if you want a long-running “set-and-forget” alert for many airlines. (AwardWallet.com)

• SeatsAero (Seats.aero) — A popular search/alert engine for award availability across many programs. Fast and often recommended by award-travel communities, but some results are cached so you should verify availability on the airline before booking. (Reddit.com)

• SeatSpy — Primarily focused on UK/EU routes and British Airways/Avios inventory; provides alerts for premium-cabin availability and does hourly checks on paid plans. Good for BA/Avios users. (Reddit.com)

• AwardFares / AwardLogic / similar paid award-search services — Several smaller services let you set daily alerts for award space on specified routes and date ranges. Frequency and coverage vary; many run daily checks. (Reddit.com)

• AwardWallet — Primarily a points/miles tracker, but also offers some alert features (e.g., award expirations and limited award-availability tracking depending on program). Useful to combine with a dedicated availability tracker. (cntraveler.com)

Other useful options and tactics

• Point.Me (Point.Me) and AwardHacker — These help search which programs can book a route and often help you find routing/pricing; some product offerings include alerts or saved searches. Use them to identify where to set alerts. (Reddit.com)

• Community channels — Reddit (r/awardtravel), Facebook groups, and Discords often post award “drops” and availability finds in near real time. Not automated, but can be very effective for hard-to-find space. (Reddit.com)

• Airline phone agents / loyalty desk — For some partner seats that don’t show online, calling the airline’s award desk can occasionally find or confirm availability. Combine alerts with manual checks/calls when you get notified. (cntraveler.com)

Practical tips

• Verify immediately: many tools use cached data or check once per day/hour — after an alert you should immediately search the airline’s website and call the program to book while the space remains. (Reddit.com)
• Use flexible date searches or date ranges if your travel dates can move — that increases your chance of a match.
• Consider paid plans for faster check frequency and broader airline coverage if you’re chasing high-demand premium seats.
• Combine tools: use a site that finds which programs can book a route (Point.Me/AwardHacker) + a dedicated alert service (ExpertFlyer/SeatsAero/SeatSpy) + community watch channels for best coverage.

If you want, tell me a sample route and which frequent‑flyer program(s) you’ll use and I’ll recommend the one or two services most likely to cover that route and how to set reliable alerts.
