I’ve booked two flights using the Premium version of STTP and been blown away with how easy the newsletter makes planning an award flight. Dates, award costs, transfer partners and the best ways to book are all included in a concise email. If you’ve ever wondered what to do with your points and miles, STTP is a must!

I have been a Premium member since 2021, and can't tell you how many unique award bookings I have been able to make with this award space alert service! Some of these bookings have been for unicorn space that typically lasts 24 hours, at most. Highly recommend that anyone who spends even ten hours a year searching for award space consider signing up for STTP Premium! Well worth the price!
