Award search tools make it so much faster and easier to find awards that you might have thought would be impossible to book. In this how-to video, we’ll look at PointsYeah’s ability to do a specific live search, a broad cached search, and create alerts for either type of search.

Excellent tutorial. Thanks!

The problem with using Flight Deals search is that it is not always accurate. You may set the parameter for 4 passengers and think there are 4 seats available. Then when you click on the live search, the parameters change to 1 passenger. If you look closely in this video, when you guys click on the live search, it only searches for 1 passenger for the flight from ORD to AMS on Lot Polish. Then when you change the search for 4 passengers, there is no availability. Thus, I think it is misleading.
