Unfortunately, we could not find any award options between those two airports.

Umm, Mileage plus on Air Canada.

One thing that disappoints me is that it doesn't show the miles according to availability (as you can notice, no dates need to be put in to search)
This website would be great if it showed the mileage availability of the flight

There are several programs that already do that. Don't expect a program to ever offer that for free.

Not true, awardnexus.com is free if you have an expertflyer account (which is free as well)
But the search is limited and the interface and design are poor

Every 5 days you're going to make yourself a new EF account? And once you have EF, you can just search on there...

Why would i need to create a new EF every 5 days? And as I mentioned before, its limited search and the interface and design are poor, so its not a pleasant experience to search there

It works with the free EF account as well.

I think you all mean FT as in Flyertalk, and not EF as in expert flyer which is sort of a competing service

Lol
Didn't realize. My point still stands: don't expect to get a top-quality award search site for free. (And even the paid ones aren't so top notch).

LAX-JFK is showing 15K RT on M&M is that correct? On the award chart it shows 25K

an updated award chart would be great - LAX-TLV comes up with no results - are there plans for adding ELAL?

Also a nice feature may be to add conversion from MR UR and TYP

Hey all, just wanted to drop in a quick update on some new features we’ve deployed to AwardAce. You can now filter by individual programs and by transferable partners (Amex, Chase and etc). Each program now has some transfer partner info on the top right corner of the rate cards.

Example link: http://www.awardace.com/redemptions/102760900/JFK-SFO?transfer_partners=amex,citi

We’ve also added support for four new programs: SKYPASS, Enrich, LifeMiles and Lotusmiles.

Hope this keeps some of you intrigued as we continue to work on one-stop pricing! Please let us know if you have more feedback.

@Yehuda and Yose – thanks for the heads up. We’ve corrected that to 25K now.

htg123 – AwardAce isn’t perfect, but neither is the competition :-). Give us a little time and we’ll win you over.

rcarentals – We’re focusing on alliance airlines first. Once we bring a few more of those airlines on board, we can move onto the AS, EY and LY of the world.
