Many travelers get tired of searching flight award inventory on individual airline websites. Over the past few years, several web-based tools have emerged to make this process easier. One of them is Roame.Travel — a platform that searches award space across 25 frequent flyer programs, lets you track prices and set alerts, and more.
Let’s take a closer look at what Roame.Travel offers.

What Is Roame.Travel?
Similar to tools like Point.me and PointsYeah, Roame.Travel — often just called Roame — lets users search multiple frequent flyer programs for award availability. The site currently supports 25 airline loyalty programs, though the specific number included in each search may vary depending on the route.
Roame tracks several excellent loyalty programs. For instance, you can search for Singapore Airlines’ first-class awards through the KrisFlyer program, or find awards only available through Qatar’s Privilege Club. These are hard-to-search programs, so that's where a tool like Roame comes in handy.
Using Roame.Travel
To get started, create a Roame.Travel account. You can choose the free plan or one of the paid tiers, which unlock additional features. While Roame has a useful guide built into the platform, the interface is straightforward enough that you can start using it right away.
How to run a search with Roame.Travel
Like most flight award search engines, Roame asks for your origin, destination, date, and number of travelers. You can choose between “economy/premium economy” and “business/first” cabin classes.
Once you’ve entered your details, click the red magnifying glass icon to start your search. Roame only searches one-way trips, so you’ll need to run separate searches for round-trip itineraries.
You'll likely notice that results load quickly. In our tests, most searches took 10 seconds or less — as Roame advertises.
Roame shows which credit card points or loyalty currencies can be transferred to book the award, which is helpful if you're getting started with points and miles or aren't familiar with the power of transferable rewards points.
Roame also includes eight intuitive filters to narrow down results. For example, you can filter by airline program, and Roame even shows how many results match each filter.
In addition, you can take advantage of five sort options, which can help you quickly identify flight options that work for you:
- Lowest points
- Last updated
- Departure time
- Flight duration
- Roame's pick
Alerts
Those with a paid version of Roame can use alerts to monitor particular flight routes. Just fill out the route and cabin you want to monitor, then click “Create Alert.” Once your alert is active, you can click “View Alert” to double-check or adjust the search parameters.
You’ll receive notifications directly within the site, and Roame will also send you emails when matching flights are found. This feature is especially useful if you’re hoping for a premium cabin award to become available; you can set and forget it, and let Roame do the work for you.
SkyView
SkyView is Roame’s “bird’s-eye view” of award space. It searches a preset list of routes daily and then aggregates the results. It's ideal for travelers with flexible calendars looking to snag the best redemptions early in their trip-planning process.
Here’s what different Roame users get with SkyView:
- Free users: Access to SkyView Lite (7-day window within the next 60 days)
- Friends of Roame: 60-day search windows over the next 365 days
- Enterprise: 180-day searches over the next 365 days
One of the most helpful aspects of SkyView is that award pricing is shown upfront, before you even initiate a search. This helps you identify trends or clusters of low-cost redemptions across a route or region.
SkyView also allows broad geographic targeting. This means you can search entire countries, regions, states, or individual airports. While there’s no standalone “city” grouping, searches from major cities will include all local airports. Friends of Roame subscribers can search multiple zones at once.
Discover
With a Friends of Roame or Enterprise subscription, you also unlock access to Discover. This tool highlights premium cabin award deals departing from specific cities. You can filter by origin, airline, and travel dates, which makes it a helpful feature if you’re flexible on destination but want to fly in comfort.
That said, it’s still smart to plug any Discover results into a standard Roame search to confirm the lowest redemption cost.
Credit Cards and Wallet
Roame includes a wallet feature that allows you to track your credit cards, loyalty program balances, annual fees, and even your Chase 5/24 status. It’s a handy way to keep everything in one place — but it’s not automated. You’ll need to manually enter and update your data.
If you already use a tool like AwardWallet that pulls this information automatically, you’ll likely find that more efficient. Still, Roame’s version can be helpful for tracking card benefits and fees in a simple format.
How Much Is Roame.Travel?
Roame.Travel has both free and paid subscription options. The free version includes core features like one-way award searches, basic filtering, and access to SkyView Lite.
The Friends of Rome plan is more robust, and it comes with the following:
- Expanded Skyview Access (60-day search and 365-day access)
- Multi-region searches
- 5 Multi-region alerts
- 7-day window standard search
- Discover feature
- Access to email support
The Enterprise tier adds everything in the Friends of Roame plan and supports up to 5 team members, 20 alerts, 180-day SkyView search windows, dedicated support, and more.
Roame.Travel's Areas for Improvement
Roame has made great strides and already includes one of the widest search ranges of any award tool, but there’s still room for it to grow.
- Limited number of alerts: Free users don’t get any, and even paid users are limited to 5 alerts unless they upgrade to Enterprise. Other tools offer more flexibility at similar price points.
- Missing filter options: Roame doesn’t let you filter by departure time, arrival time, or total trip duration. These can be important, for example, if you want to limit departures to late evenings when flying from the U.S. to Europe.
- Cabin search limitations: You can’t isolate one specific cabin class (e.g., premium economy only) or mix certain types (like business and premium economy) unless you run separate searches or use extra filtering.
Final Thoughts
Roame.Travel is a well-rounded and highly functional award search tool. Even the free version offers fast searches and access to a limited version of SkyView. The paid version adds more powerful features — including alerts, expanded search ranges, and tools to help you find great premium cabin deals.
If you’ve been frustrated trying to track down award availability, Roame is absolutely worth checking out. It's one of many tools you can test to see if it works for you; it just happens to be growing on us more and more.
