New Italian Calculator Added

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.

Qatar Own Metal Rate Update

LATAM Pass and LATAM Fidelidade

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.

Update to the SAA Voyager Star Alliance Calculator

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).

New Data and Calculators

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.

Updated LATAM Calculator

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.

United Award Charts Updated

United Airlines introduced new award charts at the beginning of November 2017, both for Star Alliance flights and for own metal redemptions. These rate updates have now been added to our calculators.

Suggestions Engine V2

We have redeveloped the code of our suggestions engine. We have added additional control options in order to help you find interesting destinations to travel to with your miles. You can now query the system for one-way flights, which in many cases will allow you to optimize the use of your miles better. The zones based programs provide one-click options to a map of the possible zones, which will give you more options per rate. For the distance based programs you can limit the searches to direct flights.

Singapore Airlines Update

Singapore Airlines updated its award charts for own-metal flights on March 23rd. We have now updated our calculator as well.This includes flights on Singapore Airlines and SilkAir. The update is a devaluation as award rates have gone up -- many miles prices have gone up approximately 30%.  But it's not all bad news since some of the high fuel surcharges are being waived. A long redemption between Cape Town and the US West Coast is not looking so bad considering it is all on Singapore Airlines.
