What a South African Airways (SA) award alert watches
AwardTool re-checks award space on the routes and booking programs it covers and emails you when seats open, for departures within the window the free and Pro plans show. These figures summarize its cached searches from the last 30 days.
- AwardTool watches award space by booking program and route, not by the airline that operates the flight.
- It matches airlines by the marketing carrier — the airline that sells the flight, the code on the ticket — which can differ from the airline that operates it.
- The only airline filter on an alert excludes airlines you don't want to see; there is no filter that matches a single operating carrier. To follow South African Airways (SA), watch the routes it flies and the programs that can book them.
How to set up a South African Airways (SA) award alert
The button above opens the alert form in the app with these choices filled in; you can change any of them before saving. Creating an alert needs a free AwardTool account.
- Pick the route to watch — one of the routes below where AwardTool has seen South African Airways (SA) award space, or your own origin and destination.
- Choose the cabins you want (economy through first) and the booking programs to search.
- Add any limits that matter to you: maximum points, maximum taxes, stops, and the other filters below.
- Save the alert and AwardTool emails you when matching award space appears.
Filters you can set on an alert
An award alert supports these filters. Points and taxes are per passenger, one way, in the booking program's own currency and in US dollars.
- Cabins — economy, premium economy, business or first.
- Booking programs — the loyalty programs that may price the award.
- Maximum points — skip awards priced above your ceiling.
- Maximum taxes and fees.
- Stops — nonstop only, or up to a number of stops.
- Mixed-cabin itineraries — include or exclude awards flown partly in a lower cabin.
- Flight number.
- Departure and arrival time windows.
- Maximum trip duration.
- Co-branded card (cardmember) award pricing.
- Airlines to exclude — hide a marketing carrier you don't want.
- Selected airports only, when you pick specific airports to watch.
"Airlines to exclude" is the one airline filter: it removes a marketing carrier from the results. There is no filter that keeps only one operating airline.
