The calculations are based on the rates published by the frequent flyer programs; we currently track approximately 70 frequent flyer programs. The calculator checks every frequent flyer program in the system to see if the destination pair is served by that program.

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.

British Airways and Iberia are the exceptions to this rule. BA redemption flights are usually accompanied by several hundreds of dollars in extra fees.
