Getting Started

Your complete guide to setting up timeline.hk and finding award seats faster.

1

Search for Flights

On the home page, enter your route (origin → destination), select your preferred cabin class, and pick your date range.

💡 Tip: Start with dates 2-6 months out. Availability opens gradually, and premium cabins are easiest to spot 3-4 months in advance.

2

View Availability Calendar

The calendar shows available dates in green and unavailable dates with a dashed border. Click any available date to see detailed flight info and book directly.

💡 Tip: Dates with availability can change hourly. Check back frequently or set up a watch to get instant alerts.

3

Set Up Monitoring (Optional)

Click an unavailable date (dashed border) to register for monitoring. This tells our system to watch for changes and alert you as soon as seats open.

Pro: Set watches on multiple dates and cabin classes. We monitor continuously so you don't have to.

Cabin Classes Explained

Economy

Most affordable in miles. Opens regularly, especially on regional routes. Good value for short hops.

Premium Economy

Extra space and amenities. Less availability than Economy, more common on long-haul routes.

Business

Premium experience: lie-flat beds, priority service. Rare but worth hunting for. Sweet spot routes have surprise releases.

First

Ultra-premium. Highest cost in miles, lowest availability. Usually paired with Business availability.

Pro Tips for Success

🎯 Be Flexible

Premium cabins rarely show continuous availability. Search multiple dates, alternate routes, and even nearby airports. Flexibility = more options.

Hunt Off-Peak

Availability releases happen unpredictably. Peak hunting times are early morning and mid-week. Less competition = higher success rate.

Act Fast

When you get an alert, premium seats can disappear in minutes. Have your Asia Miles login ready and bookmark the booking page.

🔄 Set Multiple Watches

Monitor different dates, cabins, and routes simultaneously. Diversified monitoring catches opportunities you might otherwise miss.
