Frequently Asked Questions

What is an award flight?

An award flight is a flight booked using loyalty program miles or points instead of cash. Airlines publish "award charts" that set how many miles a route costs. AwardsPlanner shows you these costs across all major programs at once.

Which loyalty program gives the best value for my route?

It depends on the route, cabin, and which credit card points you hold. That is exactly what AwardsPlanner answers — enter your route and we show you the cheapest program to book through, taking into account your available transfer partners.

Does AwardsPlanner show live award availability?

No — AwardsPlanner shows theoretical award prices based on published award charts. Actual availability depends on the airline releasing space. Use the prices here to know how many miles a route should cost, then check the airline's website for availability.

How do credit card points transfer to airline miles?

Credit card programs like Chase Ultimate Rewards, Amex Membership Rewards, Citi ThankYou Points, Capital One Miles, and Bilt Rewards each partner with specific airlines. You transfer your card points to the airline's loyalty program, then book an award flight. Transfer ratios are typically 1:1 but vary — AwardsPlanner shows you the effective cost accounting for each program's ratio.
