Alaska Airlines Partnership Updates

AeroMexico has been added as a partner for Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan flight redemption. This adds many destinations in Mexico. Mileage Plan members can connect to the AeroMéxico network at LAX or Mexico City (MEX).
Example: LA to Cancun

Air Pacific is now called Fiji Airways. If you're looking to calculate rates for flights on Fiji Airways as a Mileage Plan member select the Fiji Airways partnership in the drop down menu.

Icelandair is no longer a partner for miles redemption for Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan members and can therefore not be queried on milez.biz anymore.

Qatar Airways oneworld Rates

The  Privilege Club (Qatar Airways) oneworld rates have now been added to the milez.biz calculator. You can query the database for flights with partner airlines from the oneworld alliance.

You can also compare the Qatar oneworld redemption rates against 9 other oneworld partner programs. For example see here oneworld partner rates for a New York JFK to Tokyo NRT ticket.

US Airways Dividend Miles oneworld Rates Added

The US Airways rates for oneworld awards have been added to the calculator. This means you can now query milez.biz for award rates with oneworld partner airlines.

Concurrently, all the other oneworld programs have been updated with the added US Airways routes, this means that there can be some attractive short-haul routes, e.g. YYZ-JFK (a US Airways route) with British Airways Avios (9,000 in economy).

Dividend Miles No Longer Star Alliance

The US Airways merger with American Airlines has brought an end to the US Airways program Dividend Miles as a Star Alliance partner. We have deactivated the Star Alliance rates on the milez.biz calculator. We will update the system soon with the new Dividend Miles oneworld rates.

We have alerady updated the standard US Airways Dividend Miles rates, this includes all rates for redemptions on US Airways flights. For example, Charlotte to Sao Paulo or Philadelphia to Brussels. Both the current rates and the ones valid as of June 1, 2014, are included.

We have removed the "Availability" button from our search results as awardtravelr.com recently discontinued its availability search functionality. We will look for alternatives to make your redemption searches as efficient and simple as possible.

New Delta SkyMiles Rates Added

Delta Air Lines is increasing many of the redemption rates in its SkyMiles program. Some of the increases will take effect on February 1, 2014, and the rest on June 1, 2014.

As an example, see how the rates change from JFK to Tel Aviv.

All current and future rates are listed side by side in the results table so that you can plan how to best use your miles.

16 January, 2014

New United Rates Added

United Mileage Plus is making some sweeping changes to the redemption rates of its program. The large majority of rates are being increased; the new rates come into effect on February 2, 2014.

The milez.biz calculator has both the old and the new rates currently available on its system. You can therefore compare the two directly; both old and new rates are listed side by side and labelled accordingly.

The changes impact both the standard United rates as well as the Star Alliance partner rates. Rates within North America remain largely the same, but other than that members will likely have to spend more miles to get to their destinations. Especially the business and first class rates will be increased significantly.
