Milez Calculation and Comparison

Below are the redemption rates for a frequent flyer award ticket between Sao Paulo (GRU) and Foz Do Iguacu (IGU). You will see how many air miles are needed to travel between GRU and IGU.

The calculations are based on the rates published by the frequent flyer programs; we currently track approximately 75 frequent flyer programs. The calculator checks every frequent flyer program in the system to see if the destination pair is served by that program and then shows the number of air miles needed for an award flight.

If you are looking for suggestions on how to use your frequent flyer miles, try our suggestions engine here.

How to read the results:

• The lowest rate for award flights is found in the system and listed at the top of the results tables.
• The "Transfer Rates" button calculates the number of points needed to convert and transfer from a partner loyalty program (hotel and credit card programs).
  
• The info button  gives you some extra information about the program in question.
• "Login" links to the frequent flyer program's login page.
• "Apply" links to the frequent flyer program's application page (to join the program).
• "Check Rates" links to the frequent flyer programs own calculator or rates tables.
• If the program is distance based and a connection is necessary, the calculator will find the most advantageous connection and calculate the flight distance through that connection.

Award rates start at:

AAdvantage [oneworld / Partners]   Login | Apply | Check Rates
Round trip in Main Cabin 20,000
Round trip in Business / First 40,000
AAdvantage does not charge fuel surcharges in most cases, be it for American Airlines flights or flights on oneworld partner carriers. British Airways and Iberia are the exceptions to this rule. BA redemption flights are usually accompanied by several hundreds of dollars in extra fees. Be aware of some of the exceptions to the zone-to-zone award rates! If origin and destination of the award ticket are in the same zone, transit through another zone will incur additional redemption charges.

Off-peak rates are only for BA flights. Taxes and fees are always paid in cash when redeeming flights with Executive Club. The fuel surcharges are  broken out and can be expensive. In the UK APD (Air Passenger Duty) is an extra fee added; this fee is significantly higher in business and first class. Non-BA flights may be available for much lower rates since some airlines cannot break out fuel surcharges. Examples of flights that do not incur fuel surcharges are: LAN to South America American Airlines to South America or within North America

TAM Fidelidade does not charge fuel surcharges on its award flights. As per government regulation, flights originating in Brazil cannot break out fuel surcharges. The programs can, however, charge airport taxes and fees on award tickets, which can be significant. The rule about Brazil applies to all programs, not only TAM Fidelidade and GOL Smiles, so that award flights coming from Brazil, booked through any program, are often a very good bargain on any program.
