What AwardTool does
You tell AwardTool where and when you want to fly. It searches airline loyalty programs for seats that can be booked with points, and lists each result with its points price, taxes and fees, cabin, stops and seats. You then book with the airline's program. AwardTool does not sell tickets or hold your points.
There are two ways to search. Real-Time Search and Mega Search ask the programs for their results at that moment. Panorama, Explore and the route calendars show stored results from earlier searches, across many dates and airports at once, each with the time it was last seen.
What AwardTool searches
AwardTool searches 26 airline loyalty programs, among them Air Canada Aeroplan, American Airlines AAdvantage, Delta SkyMiles, Qantas Frequent Flyer, United MileagePlus and Virgin Atlantic Flying Club. Hotel search covers Marriott Bonvoy, IHG One Rewards, World of Hyatt and Hilton Honors.
It also publishes what it has seen: pages for routes, programs and airlines that show the lowest award price observed in each cabin, always with the cash, and a cheat sheet of bank transfer partners.
Where the data comes from
Most of AwardTool's award availability comes from established travel data providers, and some airlines share their availability with us through APIs. We do not run web crawlers to collect data from airline websites.
A stored price is a record of what AwardTool saw, not a quote. Award seats and prices change, so confirm with the loyalty program before you transfer points or book.
Plans and apps
Searching is free. AwardTool Pro is an optional paid plan with larger searches, a full year of dates and more alerts. AwardTool runs on the web, on iPhone and on Android with one account.
