If you book with miles or points, Stopover can show you award availability right on your trip. We use seats.aero as the data source, so you'll need a seats.aero account.
Connecting your seats.aero account
Right now, you connect seats.aero from a flight's search popover.
- Open any flight leg.
- Go to Search.
- Switch the source toggle from Cash · Google to Award · seats.aero.
- If Stopover asks you to sign in first, sign in to your Stopover account.
- On the seats.aero connection card, choose Connect seats.aero.
- Sign in to seats.aero and approve access. You'll be returned to the flight popover after the connection finishes.
Once connected, Stopover can use your seats.aero membership for award searches. We don't store your seats.aero password — the connection runs through their official sign-in.
Running an award search
On any flight leg:
- Open the detail panel.
- In the search bar, switch the source toggle from Cash · Google to Award · seats.aero.
- Confirm the route and date (you can also widen the date window to scan a few days at once).
- Pick the cabin you're hoping for.
- Hit Search.
Results show every program with availability on that route, with the mileage cost and any cash co-pays. Pick one and it slots into the leg as a saved option — switch to the Saved tab to confirm it's there.
How award legs look on the trip
On the map, a flight booked with miles shows a small mileage badge on its arc. In the Overview, you'll see both the miles cost and any cash component (taxes, fees, fuel surcharges).
In the budget, miles legs don't add to your cash total — they're tracked separately so cash costs and miles stay separate.
Multi-currency for taxes
Carrier-imposed taxes and surcharges often aren't in U.S. dollars. Stopover keeps the original currency and shows it in the budget alongside USD without converting. See Tracking what your trip will cost for how the multi-currency view works.
When awards aren't showing
A few common reasons:
- No availability. Award space comes and goes daily. Search again the next day, or try a nearby date.
- Wrong cabin. Business and First show up far less often than Economy. Drop a class and try again.
- Program isn't covered. seats.aero supports a wide range of programs but not every airline. If your program isn't listed, you can still record the booking manually (see the manual section in Adding flights to your trip).
