Level.me is a paid instrument that has revolutionized how I seek for award flights. Because it launched in February 2022, it has been including further options (akin to QuickLook, which reveals outcomes quicker) and associate integrations (akin to Bilt’s Level.me integration).
Now, Level.me has launched a brand new Discover instrument.
The brand new Level.me Discover characteristic allows you to see cached one-way award outcomes from the final 15 days from one origin level to many locations over a large date vary. Particularly, you possibly can search outcomes for a particular metropolis, nation or area, or for locations that match a particular attribute (like “seaside” or “winter sports activities”). Or, you possibly can seek for journey to wherever.
You’ll be able to decide to solely see outcomes for a particular journey date or for journey anytime throughout a set month. You’ll be able to seek for a number of folks and select to see financial system outcomes or premium-cabin outcomes.
In case you have flexibility, aren’t certain the place you wish to go or each, Level.me Discover could also be helpful. This is what it’s worthwhile to find out about utilizing Level.me Discover.
Getting began with the Level.me Discover instrument

In any other case, Level.me commonplace plans value $5 for a 24-hour go, $12 per thirty days or $129 per 12 months. Informal vacationers who solely ebook a number of award flights every year could do nicely shopping for 24-hour passes as wanted, however I’ve discovered the annual subscription to be nicely value it since I incessantly search and ebook award flights.

Utilizing the Level.me Discover instrument
Level.me Discover is nice for getting a high-level view of the accessible choices. For instance, one in all my first searches with the Level.me Discover instrument was for a winter sports activities journey in February from Atlanta.
As you possibly can see, Level.me Discover provided two home and two worldwide choices. I clicked on the Crested Butte, Colorado, choice, and Level.me Discover confirmed me what one other person had seen within the final 15 days. It inspired me to click on to look dwell award availability.
Once I clicked to look dwell award availability, Level.me Discover took me to the usual Level.me search interface. As soon as the outcomes loaded, I used to be happy to see present availability and pricing have been even higher than anticipated. As a substitute of an award costing 10,500 miles, I might redeem as few as 6,000 miles for a one-way flight to Crested Butte from Atlanta departing sooner or later sooner than what the earlier person had discovered.
Nevertheless, typically you may discover much less interesting dwell outcomes. For instance, I looked for a premium-cabin award from New York to Europe in Might. Level.me Discover confirmed me that one-way awards have been accessible to a number of European cities for about 40,000 factors or miles.
I clicked to see outcomes to Zurich, which a earlier person had discovered for about 40,000 factors or miles.
Nevertheless, after I clicked by the supplied hyperlink, I noticed outcomes for a day after the earlier person’s search that have been costlier and by way of Istanbul.
Once I modified the date to the identical date that the earlier person had used to seek out an award for about 40,000 factors or miles, I discovered a two-stop award for 57,500 Aeroplan factors.
So, though Level.me Discover will be helpful for exploring, seeing cached outcomes from as much as 15 days in the past could result in frustration. Nevertheless, I count on it’s going to additionally lead vacationers to find some locations and award routes they would not in any other case think about.

Backside line
I am thrilled to see Level.me proceed to enhance its performance. The brand new Level.me Discover characteristic will probably be helpful to see what forms of award pricing and availability incessantly exist and to find new award locations.
Nevertheless, for the reason that award availability that’s proven is not present — and is as a substitute from searches throughout the final 15 days by different customers — you could develop annoyed in case you attempt to use it to seek out and ebook an award journey. It is typically a greater instrument for planning a visit than for locating good-value awards you possibly can truly ebook.
