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
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.

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:

- But the Canaries and Madeira still belong to the Africa Zone
- Mexico has been added to the North America Zone
- And Hawaii is still in the Caribbean / Central America Zone
- Some far eastern Russian cities now belong to the North and South Asia Zone, but so do Sri Lanka and the Maldives.

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

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.
