The problem
Other reward flight searches don't include BA AMEX Companion Voucher seats
A standard Avios search mixes the ordinary reward seats together and leaves the Companion Voucher seats out. To see the extra Business Class seats you log in, apply the voucher, and open dates one at a time.
- The extra seats are a separate pool. They do not appear just because Business Class is open.
- Companion vouchers make long haul trips great value but it's difficult to see all long hould flight availability at once.
- A date with no ordinary reward seats can still have a Companion Voucher seat.
- Cpompanion vouchers often expire before they are used as finding availability is difficult.
Alerts
Set the trip once. We watch the extra seats.
Tell SeatSpy the route, the dates and the number of seats, and include BA AMEX Premium Plus Companion Voucher availability on the alert. We keep checking British Airways, up to a year ahead, and contact you when those seats show up.
- Works on the outbound, the return, or both.
- Your First Class SeatSpy subscription sends the email as soon as we see the seats, and can copy a second email address.
- Telegram, WhatsApp and SMS notifications are available.
You can spend the waiting time on the rest of the trip. The alert is there for the seat the voucher can actually book.
Use it for
The trips where the second seat is the point
Two of you, one fare
A couple, or a parent and a child, travel for the cost of one passenger. The voucher makes Business Class travel possible. The calendar is what shows the extra dates where British Airways will actually take it.
Where Can I Go inspiration

Questions
Before you start the trial
What is a BA Amex Premium Plus Companion Voucher?
It is a companion voucher that can be earned by American Express Premium Plus Card holders and it provides access to additional Business Class reward seats that are not available for other Companion Vouchers or for non BA AMEX Premium Plus Companion Voucher bookings. On a Companion Voucher booking, two people can travel together and you only pay the Avios for one passenger.
What extra seats does the voucher unlock?
British Airways releases additional Business Class reward seats for bookings that use a British Airways American Express Premium Plus Companion Voucher. Those seats do not appear in a normal Avios search or for non American Express Premium Plus Companion Voucher bookings. SeatSpy shows this extra availability on the year-long calendar, outbound and return, so you can find availability before you open ba.com.
What do Include, Exclude and Only do?
Exclude shows ordinary Business Class reward seats and excludes the extra BA AMEX Premium Plus Companion Voucher seats. Include adds those extra seats to the calendar, so more days can show availability. Only leaves just the extra BA AMEX Premium Plus Companion Voucher seats, which lets you see dates that exist for the voucher and not for a standard redemption.
Can I still limit the search to Club Suite?
Yes. A First Class subscription includes the Club Suite filter as well. You can turn on Show Club Suite Only and still include the extra Companion Voucher seats. This maximises the chance of getting the newer Business Class seats on a Club Suite aircraft.
How do Companion Voucher alerts work?
Create an alert for a British Airways route, include the Business cabin class, and include Companion Voucher availability. SeatSpy will monitor the availability, including the BA AMEX Premium Plus Companion Voucher availabilty and notifies you when seats appear.
Do I need the voucher to use this?
You need a Companion Voucher to book the extra seats on ba.com. SeatSpy shows which dates have them, so you know where to apply the voucher. Without the voucher, those seats are not a standard redemption.
Which plan includes Companion Voucher availability?
SeatSpy's First Class subscription includes Companion Voucher availability search and alerts. First Class also includes unlimited alerts, instant notifications, a second email address, SMS, and the Club Suite filter. New subscribers can start a 14-day free trial.
Can I cancel?
Yes. You can cancel a First Class subscription from your account page. The plan stays active until the end of the period you have already paid for.
The voucher is already in the account. The seat is the part you have to find.
Companion Voucher seats are a fraction of the Business Class seats British Airways releases, and they never appear in a normal search. The calendar shows you those flights. The alert tells you when a new one appears.
