What is the AAdvantage award chart for 2026?

The AAdvantage award chart shows how many miles are required for redemptions by cabin class and region. The current chart took effect May 2026. AAdvantage miles are currently valued at approximately 1.70¢ each, with premium redemptions reaching up to 2.50¢.

How many miles do I need for a business class flight?

Business class awards on the AAdvantage chart range from 15,000 to 97,500 miles one way, depending on the route and region. See the chart above for the specific cost for your origin and destination.

Does AAdvantage have peak and off-peak award pricing?

AAdvantage uses a fixed zone-based award chart without separate peak and off-peak tiers. The miles cost for a given route stays consistent regardless of travel date, making it easy to plan redemptions in advance.

What are the best sweet spots in the AAdvantage award chart?

Sweet spots are routes where the miles cost is unusually low relative to the cash price. Look for routes that fall into a low pricing zone but have high cash fares — typically long-haul business or first class on routes with limited award availability. Check the Sweet Spots page for the top-value AAdvantage redemptions identified by CardCurator's award chart analysis.

How much are AAdvantage miles worth?

AAdvantage miles are worth approximately 1.70¢ per miles on average, based on industry valuations. Premium redemptions — like business class flights at chart sweet spots — can yield 2.50¢ or more per miles.
