Welcome to Milez.biz!

Welcome to new incarnation of the Milez.biz website, the global frequent flyer miles calculator! We have re-designed our user interface in order to make life easier for our users who use the site with their handhelds. The responsive front-end now displays nicely on all devices. In addition, we have removed all ads in an effort to speed up the delivery of the calculation results.


Nonetheless all calculators remain free for all users. However, there is a daily limit of five calculations per user. If you reach your daily limit you can come back the next day to make more queries. This will hardly affect any of our users since the great majority of users only make a few calculations. Users who would like to make unlimited calculations now have the option to create a subscription to our service. The subscriptions are either quarterly or yearly.



All the same calculators that you know from the first version of Milez.biz are still available, the main ones are the award rate calculator, the suggestions engine and the transfer calculator.

Milez.biz can be accessed via API, meaning that you can create a white label version of the tool for your own application. Contact us to find out about the conditions.

  1. Updated LATAM Calculator
    16 November, 2017

    It looks like the LATAM program may soon go through a transformation (https://www.latam.com/en_ca/latam-pass/latam-pass-points/new-latam-pass-points/), noneteless, we have updated the calculator to the latest rates. LATAM uses KMS as a currency (this will change) and own-metal award can only round trip. KMS rates are a bit higher than typical miles rates in other programs.

    LATAM KMS can also be redeemed for some oneworld flights, however, only American Airlines, Iberia and Qantas are covered.

  2. New Data and Calculators
    28 November, 2017

    We have added JAL's oneworld award rates to our system. You can now compare the awards across approximately one dozen oneworld programs, see for example:
    We have also added three more Korean Skypass partners: Etihad, GOL and Jet Airways.

    We have also added new transfer partners for Citi Bank Thank You Points and Chase Ultimate. You can easily figure out how many points/miles you will receive or need when transferring here.  


  3. Update to the SAA Voyager Star Alliance Calculator
    29 November, 2017

    As was noticed by some users our SAA Star Alliance calculator was in need of an update. The currently valid Star Alliance rates are now in the system. There have been a few small updates to the redemption zones as well:
    This means there could be some interesting sweet spots, such as Japan to the Maldives (fewer miles than India to the Maldives) or Hawaii to Bermuda (costing less than Boston to Hawaii). 

  4. LATAM Pass and LATAM Fidelidade
    23 January, 2018

    LATAM Pass switched from using KMS to using Points (miles) at the beginning of January. The redemption rates in our system have been adjusted accordingly. This includes both the oneworld rates, which are distance based, and the own metal rates, which are zones based.

    The LATAM Fidelidade Multiplus oneworld rates were already based on miles, but the Multiplus program is based on zones for the oneworld flights. We have also added LATAM Fidelidade own metal rates even though there is some dynamic pricing of theses award rates. However, the rates move within a minimum and maximum range. 

  5. Big American Express Update
    30 January, 2018

    We've reviewed all our American Express transfer rates and have brought them all up to date. Furthermore, we've added four news Amex cards:

  6. Qatar Own Metal Rate Update
    1 February, 2018

    The Qmiles award charts for Qatar Airways flights have recently changed. The milez calculators now include the newest rates. One of the sweet spots are Qatar flights between North America  and the Middle East, for example Houston to Doha.  

  7. New Italian Calculator Added
    2 February, 2018

    Our Italian users can now calculate the award rates for Meridiana flights. Meridiana uses avios, the same currency as British Airways and Iberia. The award rates are based on distance. Domestic flights in Italy cost 4,500 in economy for a one-way fare (for example, Milan to Sicily). One of the sweet spots in the Meridiana chart is the Bergamo to Cape Verde itinerary, which is priced in a lower band than the 2,826-mile distance would warrant.

  8. Aeroplan Fees and Surcharges
    21 August, 2018

    We have started systematically adding fees and surcharges data to the Aeroplan redemption rates. We are planning to add the fees for all the direct overseas flights as they are often the ones where significant surcharges are incurred. These fees differ depending on where the journey starts, i.e. the fees from Vancouver to Kong Kong are not the same as the fees from Hong Kong to Vancouver, click here to see the example.

    Sometimes different classes on the same flight incur different fees, see the example of the Air Canada flight from Montreal to London Heathrow.

    Of course, fees are heavily dependent on which airline is being flown, most United Airlines flights have low fees, especially if they start in the USA, for example the direct flight with United from Newark to Berlin or Frankfurt only has CAD 7.30 in fees but the direct Lufthansa flight to Düsseldorf has very high fees.



  9. Update to TAP Calculators
    14 September, 2018

    TAP Victoria has changed its award rates several times this year. Both the Star Alliance and TAP's own metal rates are now up to date on milez.biz. The TAP calculator now includes rates for high and low season redemptions.

  10. New Air India Flying Returns Star Alliance Rates
    30 September, 2018

    Air India Flying Returns Star Alliance redemption rates are based on a mix of zones and distances (there are now only seven large zones). All destinations belong to a zone so there are rates from zone to zone. However, in addition, there are also distance based rates, which look interesting primarily for shorter distances.

    One-way itineraries are possible and cost half the round-trip miles.

    The long-haul award tickets seem to be priced very high in comparison, for example Mumbai to Los Angeles

    On the other hand, a short haul redemption may actually look like decent deals, such Boston to Newark.

  11. New Aeroplan Surcharge Comparison Page
    1 October, 2018

    Check out our new Fees and Surcharges comparison page for Aeroplan. If you're an Aeroplan member you can have a look at how different airlines and different destinations have an influence on the amount of fees and fuel surcharges you need to pay on top of your miles redemption.

  12. New Air India Flying Returns Own Metal Rates
    9 October, 2018

    The Air India own metal international and domestic rates are generally calculated by distance, but there are a few exceptions to the distance calculations (in the international chart). The rates were updated recently and these changes are now reflected in our calculator as well.

    The domestic and international rates are maintained in separate calculators.

  13. Flying Blue Calculator Up to Date
    14 December, 2018

    We have re-worked our Flying Blue miles calculator so that our rates reflect the same miles as the estimator on the Flying Blue website. The rates recently changed on Flying Blue and they is no longer follow a clear zone logic or distance logic. Nonetheless the results from our calculator correspond to the "starting from" rates published on the FB website.    

  14. Version 2.0 of Milez.biz
    25 March, 2019

    Version 2.0 of Milez.biz has been launched! The new site is now mobile friendly, which will make it much easier to search our data from any device you may be using. All our calculators are still here and we have now removed all advertising from the site!

    The great majority of our users will be able to continue to use the site for free. In order to offset our efforts of updating all the calculators we have introduced subscriptions for our power users (who need unlimited access).

  15. Singapore KrisFlyer Calculators Updated
    19 April, 2019

    KrisFlyer award rates recently went through a devaluation. The milez.biz calculators have been updated to reflect those changes. The new Star Alliance rates came into effect on April 16th, 2019 and the regular Singapore Airlines ones in January.
