Award search across more than 20 airlines

2LNR's award search reads award seat availability on more than 20 airlines as a grid of flights by date instead of one search at a time, the next 14 days free and out to 331 days on Pro. American systemwide, Delta Global and Regional Upgrade Certificate and Alaska first-class certificate space sit on the same grid, so both inventory pools answer in one look.

Coverage is more than 20 airlines: American, Delta, Alaska, JetBlue, Air France, KLM, Japan Airlines, Emirates, Turkish Airlines, Qantas and Singapore Airlines among them. You choose a cabin; each carrier's internal inventory codes stay behind that choice. It shows seats, never prices. The next 14 days are free with an account, and Pro is $175 a year or $50 a quarter for the full horizon and alerts. 2LNR doesn't sell or book tickets.

Upgrade programs on the same grid

The grid

Pick an airline, a city pair and a cabin. Each flight the airline operates on that route gets a row, the dates run across the top, and a cell shows the award seats open on that flight that day. A month of departures is one read rather than thirty searches. That matters more than it sounds, because most award trips can move by a day or two and the useful question is rarely about one date.

There is no search quota and no per-query counter. The routes 2LNR tracks are checked daily whether or not you're looking, and the Update data button re-checks a cell when you want it looked at again right now.

If you hold upgrade certificates, switch the same grid to American systemwide, Delta Global and Regional Upgrade Certificate or Alaska first-class certificate space. A seat you book outright with miles isn't the seat a certificate clears into, and an award search on its own won't show you the second pool.

Signing up takes an email and a password, or your Google account. The free plan is the same matrix on every airline 2LNR reads, locked to the next 14 days: nothing inside that window is withheld, and nothing beyond it is shown. The interactive route map needs no account at all.

Free and Pro

The award matrix is on the free plan for every airline we read. Pro buys time: how far ahead you can look, and being told when space moves.

If prices rather than seats are what you're after, 2LNR vs seats.aero and 2LNR vs AwardFares set out the difference. Award availability by airline names every carrier 2LNR reads, with the routes and dates checked on each.

Award search questions

What does award search cost?
Nothing for the next 14 days: the award matrix is on the free plan for every airline 2LNR reads, with no card. Pro is $175 a year or $50 a quarter and opens the full 331-day horizon on both matrices, unlimited alert rules and on-demand refresh across the horizon. There is no per-search charge and no query counter.
Which airlines are covered, and which are not?
More than 20 airlines, including American, Delta, Alaska, JetBlue, Air France, KLM, Japan Airlines, Emirates, Turkish Airlines, Qantas and Singapore Airlines. It does not include United, Air Canada, Lufthansa or British Airways, so if one of those four airlines is the reason you are here, this is not your tool and we would rather you knew now. The matrix also sticks to flights the selected airline actually operates, including its own regional affiliates, because award seats on a partner-operated codeshare are the operating carrier's to release.
Can I see award space and upgrade space in one place?
Yes, and that is the part most award search tools leave out. The same calendar carries American systemwide upgrade space, Delta Global and Regional Upgrade Certificate space and Alaska first-class certificate space alongside award availability, so a route you are considering shows both pools at once. They are genuinely separate inventory, and a flight can have award space with no upgrade space or the other way round. The SWU search guide covers the upgrade side in detail.
Do I still have to search one route and date at a time?
No, that is the whole reframe. The matrix puts flights down one axis and dates across the other, so a month of departures on a route is one read rather than thirty searches. Most award trips move by a day or two anyway, so the useful question is almost never about a single date. The first 14 days are free with an account, and Pro extends the same view out to 331 days, which reaches the far edge where a lot of long-haul premium space is released when the schedule loads.
What happens when space opens after I look?
That is the normal case, and it is what alerts are for. Set an alert on the route, the dates and the cabin, and 2LNR tells you by email, SMS, in-app or push when matching space appears, instead of you re-running the same search every evening. You get unlimited alert rules on Pro, so there is no reason to ration them across your routes. Alerts are a Pro feature; the free plan does not include them. Timing is its own subject and has its own page: when award seats open up covers the per-airline release windows and how to read an award availability calendar.
Can I try 2LNR before paying for the award matrix?
Yes. The free plan is the same matrix, on every airline we read, locked to the next 14 days. Nothing inside that window is withheld and nothing beyond it is shown on a free account. The interactive route map is free without an account at all, so you can see the network before you sign up.
