How to read this

Points shown are one-way, excluding taxes, fees and carrier charges. Each program card notes which flights its chart covers — the program's own aircraft, or partner-operated flights booked with its miles. Fixed means a published award chart (an exact number). Dynamic means variable, demand-based pricing — we never show a fixed number for it. Zones are estimated from great-circle distance. Always confirm availability and the current price with the program before booking — see our methodology.

Finding a seat

Chart prices don't guarantee availability — airlines release limited award seats per flight. Search each program's own site for live space (it differs program to program), and read how to find award availability for the tactics that actually work.
