Each price is one way, per passenger: the lowest award the program showed on at least two departure dates, with the taxes and fees of that award. Mixed-cabin itineraries and unusually low or high outliers are left out, and flights within one country are not counted. Only routes between regions are listed; North America, Central America and the Caribbean count as one region.
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.
