Doesn't seem accurate from my 1 search.
EWR-HNL only came up with 1 result: M&M and it had J at 67K for one way...

@Yehuda thanks for flagging that to us! We made a tweak and you should be seeing MileagePlus as an option now.

You guys may notice a bug or two—I wouldn't expect any less from you experts. Let us know and we'll get right to it. This is a brand new v1.0 product, we're working hard to expand our coverage and feature set.

Welcome to the forum. Good to see company reps seeking and finding forum threads regarding their products.

Welcome.

Wow, very cool that you found this so quickly. +1 to what Chuck said.

Keep it up!

If I may... M&M is 70K RT on that route in J, not 135K. I'd also add in SQ at 60K since it's the cheapest option.

Interestingly, that also brings up the conversation of listing the airlines that fly the route. DL is listed in that example along with UA and M&M, yet obviously it can't be booked with UA or M&M.

Why cant it be booked with UA or M&M?

Not *a

[Yaalili]

Site is very innovative, and with some effort could be greatly effective. Thanks awardace for creating it.

[MosheD]

I would also like to echo chuck. I was going to ignore this thread and app. But now that I see Awardace on this thread willing to fix things, I am interested.

I actually had this idea, and was thinking if I wanted to make it a reality, I would try to work with (at least) one of the elite of Ddf (or similar forum, but I'm obviously partial to this one). I'm sure someone here would be willing to consult for the right price...

Out of curiosity, did you consult with anyone when making this app?

[DMYD]

Not *a

Not getting it, you can book it with UA and LH, why is he saying that not?

[MosheD]

Ah, you misunderstood @yehuda complaint.
Either way, I think that problem is addressed when you scroll down it says "bookable airlines"  by the breakdown of each currency.

I may also suggest (I know this can be complicated, as it varies within each currency based on which airline you are booking ) a three tiered rating of yq costs (none, $, $$)

And why would you think it could? It says skymiles on top of their pricing.

He's talking about DL.

While its a decently clean and user friendly interface, it by no means has exhaustive results. 
There are other websites like this though they aren't always so up do date or accurate ( you have a bunch of inaccuracies yourself). If you added non direct flights as well as more partners then it can be quite a useful tool

[@Yehuda]

And why would you think it could? It says skymiles on top of their pricing. He's talking about DL.

I just thought it would be easier to read/understand if it listed it something like this:
JFK-FRA
1) DL flies this route
Here are the best currencies to use to book it - XX, XX, XX
2) UA flies this route
Here are the best...
3) LH flies this route
Here...
4) SQ flies this route
Here...

Etc.

Interesting, definitely a useful website for begginers or ppl who simply don't have time...

[awardace]

@Yehuda: thanks for that catch. We've made that fix so you should be seeing the right M&M numbers for that route now.

MosheD: we did not consult with anyone. The founder is a software engineer and built this over several months of nights and weekends. YQ is the #1 feature request, but we don't exactly know how we're doing to tackle that problem yet.

Emkay: we totally understand; this is just the very first step. We've brought this basic version of the tool to market to see if this is something that people want. We'll be bringing more programs online in the short-term; we'll add support for connecting flights in the mid-to-longer term.

This is no excuse, but it's tough to QA and verify numbers for an infinite number of airport pairs. Thanks for bearing with us as we feel our way through these growing pains!

[DMYD]

YQ to put in, would be tough, but it's almost a must, like one program could be cheaper then 10k miles but YQ is $400+! But I think you should put the approx amount of YQ, because it keeps on changing.

[coralsnake]

These are all great ideas but I have yet to see an award search tools without major flaws, as is the case with this one.
