v1.1:
  • 2016.6.16 updated.
  • We changed the way to select Frequent Flyer Programs. Now UR/MR/TYP/SPG points options are combined with Frequent Flyer Programs options, so their relationship has become OR. Now you can easily make this kind of selection: "show UR/MR/TYP partners and AA mile, but don’t show other SPG partners".
  • We added support to the following miles:
    • Air France (AF) Flying Blue (First class not included since it is only available to elite Flying Blue members)
    • Asiana Airlines (OZ) Asiana Club
    • Avianca (AV) LifeMiles (Partners only)
is there an option to add a specific date from when your leaving to when you return to search those specific date prices?

We do not support availability information yet, thus we cannot make use of the date information. All we do now is to show the published award chart. In reality, when you try to redeem award ticket, some dates may require more miles, some dates may not be available --- you need to check that yourself.

But we do provide the option to add specific date when you search ticket price (with cash instead of miles). Just click on any "show cent/mile" link to see it.

Currently just a website, but we optimized it for mobile device, so you shouldn't have trouble using it on mobile.

Definitely if we can! The availability information is hard to get. You can see that from the fact that few existing award ticket availability search websites are not free... We need to have more impact before we can do that.

That's a very minimal fee of $10 monthly. Not worth it for you?

I don't think they have this option... Their data is the key for them to let people be willing to pay.

Excellent website. I wish you can show the availability.
