Search Tip
If your travel plans are flexible, try adding nearby airports or alternative destinations to your search. Award availability often varies between airports, even within the same region, and a small change in your itinerary may uncover additional redemption options.
You can also personalize your default airports, preferred loyalty programs, and other search settings in How to Personalize Your Searches.
Compare Your Booking Options
Selecting a flight opens a detailed booking panel showing the different ways you may be able to book that itinerary.
Depending on the flight, you may see options to:
- Book directly with an airline loyalty program
- Transfer points from an eligible bank rewards program
- Purchase additional airline miles when available
This view also displays important trip details, including taxes and fees, aircraft type, cancellation policies (when available), and transfer guidance where applicable.
