How the table works
See award seats for several origins, destinations and dates in one table
AwardGrid is an iPhone app by Curastone CORP. It puts seats.aero's cached award availability for several origins, several destinations and up to 92 days into one table. Your own seats.aero data (optional): if you have a seats.aero account with API access (seats.aero decides which accounts have API access; AwardGrid sells nothing), you can connect it to see results from that account instead of sample data.
How it works
- Start with sample data, or connect your own seats.aero account in Settings with seats.aero's own sign-in (Login with Seats.aero). AwardGrid never sees your seats.aero password, and the sign-in tokens stay in your iPhone's Keychain, with iCloud Keychain sync off.
- Type the routes and dates in English or Chinese, or set them in the editor. Programs, nonstop only and a mileage cap are optional filters; a search asks for business and first unless you choose other cabins.
- Read the result as a List, a Calendar or a Matrix; compare up to four options and save searches on the device.
- For an option, AwardGrid opens seats.aero's booking link when there is one; otherwise you copy the search. It never books. Confirm on the program's own site before you transfer points.
What the table shows
In the Matrix, rows are the dates and columns the routes. Each cell shows the lowest miles for each cabin you asked for, with the program and the seats left. Miles in different programs are not equivalent.
Each option's card shows the route, the date, the cabin, the miles, the fees, the program, the seats left and how old the data is. Where seats.aero does not give the fees, the card says "Fees not yet confirmed"; where it does not give a seat count, "Seat count not provided"; where it does not give an update time, "Source update time unknown".
An empty line in a cell says why, such as "No matches" or "Not checked to the end".
Limits to know first
- Results are seats.aero's cached availability, not a live search, and each shows how old it is.
- It covers the 26 programs seats.aero lists, where seats.aero monitors the route. An empty result means seats.aero has no cached availability for that route and day, which can also mean seats.aero does not monitor the route.
- Searches are one-way: no round trips, multi-city or passenger count.
- The app stops at 950 of seats.aero's 1,000 daily calls and caches results for 45 minutes, so repeating a search costs no calls.
- Watches are checked when you open or return to the app, and at no other time; there is no background check and no notification.
- iPhone only, iOS 18 or later.
- AwardGrid depends on seats.aero's Partner API and connects to your seats.aero account through seats.aero's own sign-in (Login with Seats.aero); seats.aero's terms apply to that account.
When something else suits you better
AwardGrid has no live search, no round trips and no alerts or notifications. If you need any of these, a tool built for them will suit you better.
Where this is up to
AwardGrid is free on the App Store (App ID 6816321841). Your own seats.aero data (optional): if you have a seats.aero account with API access (seats.aero decides which accounts have API access; AwardGrid sells nothing), you can connect it to see results from that account instead of sample data.
