What is an award flight?

An award flight is a flight booking made using frequent flyer miles or credit card points instead of cash. These bookings typically require a specific number of points plus taxes and fees.

How far in advance can I search for award flights?

Most airlines release award flights 11-12 months in advance, but each airline has its own schedule. Our tool searches up to 355 days in advance across all supported airlines.

What programs can I use to book these award flights?

Our tool shows award flight availability that can be booked through various programs, including airline loyalty programs and transferable point currencies like American Express Membership Rewards, Chase Ultimate Rewards, Citi ThankYou, and Capital One miles.

How accurate is the availability shown?

We pull real-time data directly from airline sources, ensuring that the availability shown is as accurate as possible. However, award seats can change rapidly, so we recommend booking as soon as you find suitable flights.

Can I book flights directly through your site?

No, we're a search tool that helps you find available award flights. Once you find flights you like, you'll need to book them directly with the airline or through the appropriate loyalty program.
