How the calculation works

We subtract unavoidable award taxes and fees from the equivalent cash price, then divide by the points required. The result is a useful comparison—not a guarantee of what your points are worth.

Consider before booking

A flexible cash fare may be more valuable than a nonrefundable award. Only use a points transfer when you have confirmed availability and understand the program's rules.
