Thrifty Traveler

I can’t be the only one.

I think there should be a way that you could put filters on a calendar so you could see which deals are still active out of selected cities/countries/states. I would love to know if deals are still valid like 3 days later because I don’t always have time to check the minute the message comes out. Perhaps it’s too hard to track when deals are done?

In the next couple of years, I want to fly business class to New Zealand on points. I'm willing to take (almost) any positioning flight to get to the right US airport that has the deal. I'm sure others have similar destinations that they would so something similar to get to. So if there's a way to have the departing airport be "Any US Airport" and the destination be a specific airport or country, that would be amazing.

Currently we can filter by month; however, I'd like to further filter to specific dates. I plan travel based on my work schedule, so instead of individually going into every destination to see if they have dates that work for me I'd like to search by specific dates or range of dates like a traditional search tool.

Wish I could set different alerts- economy flight deals for domestic travel whereas business class deals for international travel

I would like Thrifty Traveler app. It would be easier to access.

I don’t want to be the gatekeeper for the deals as we travel together and separately. I would love to have my husband also receive the emails without having to purchase a second subscription. I know it would be challenging to ensure you aren’t just giving away free content but it would be great.

I would love to see a cheat sheet of partner airlines to book award flights. For example, Delta flights can be booked on Virgin, Air France or KLM. Latam flights can be booked on Japanese airlines, etc.

Add international destination airports with flights from any US airport. Premium or Business class travel is cheaper from any major airport than from mine. I use Delta FF miles to get us to a major US airport (JFK, BOS, ATL etc.) that has good deals to the international airport I want to visit. This method uses less FF miles and cost less than booking direct.
