Seats.aero Lets You Search Free Flights by Chatting With AI

Seats.aero, a site that finds flights you can book with airline points and miles, now connects to three AI assistants: ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. Instead of checking many airline programs by hand, you link your Seats.aero account and ask in everyday words, such as business class to Europe.

What changed

Award flights are seats an airline releases for points instead of cash. Finding them usually means comparing airlines, programs, dates and destinations. AI assistants are good at brainstorming trips, but they do not reliably know what award seats are open. Linking Seats.aero gives them that information.

• Ask where 100,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards points could get you business class in Europe.
• Ask which European cities cost the fewest miles for a December trip from New York.
• Ask for 4 award seats from New York to Europe next summer, with flexible dates and places.

Who it affects

The change is aimed at Seats.aero members who collect travel points, especially those holding points from cards such as American Express Membership Rewards or Capital One. It could cut the time spent on the first round of searching.

What to do and what is unclear

Award seats can disappear quickly. Check every detail on the airline's own site before moving any points, because transfers usually cannot be undone. The source does not say what the feature costs, when it reaches everyone, or how accurate the AI answers are in practice.
