Prices are one-way per traveler: the program's points or miles plus taxes and carrier fees in USD, as AwardTool observed them in the observation window. Award space changes constantly. A seat we saw may be gone, and space we haven't seen may exist. Always confirm with a live search before transferring points; most transfers can't be reversed.

Dates seen counts departure dates with an open award in that cabin at any price; newest observation is the latest time AwardTool saw one of them.

These figures come from AwardTool's cached award searches across 29 loyalty programs. A value counts only when AwardTool observed it in the last 30 days, for departures within 365 days of the data date. Each price is the lowest one-way award seen per passenger, in the program's points or miles, with taxes and fees in USD. A missing value means AwardTool hasn't seen that award recently, not that none exists. The date-by-date calendar is in the app: a limited window on the free plan and 365 days with Pro.

A route counts for this comparison when both programs showed award space in the same cabin on 2 or more departure dates; prices AwardTool flags as implausible are left out. Each program's price is its own lowest one-way award on that route and cabin, in its own points or miles, compared one to one.
