It’s always exciting when you’ve finally saved up enough airline miles for an award flight. Whether you’re looking to stretch your miles by flying economy or want to splurge for a first-class ticket, the amount you’ll pay will vary by airline.
While many U.S. airlines have ditched fixed-rate award charts in favor of dynamic pricing, some still hold on to this legacy. Let’s take a look at all of the different airline award charts so you can maximize your redemptions.
Alaska will charge you varying quantities of Mileage Plan miles based on which airline you’re flying, the cabin class you’re in and the distance of your flight. Along with being part of the Oneworld Alliance, Alaska Airlines also has individual partnerships with airlines, providing plenty of redemption options.
Alaska’s website features an interactive award chart that can be filtered by airline, region and class of service. Awards start at just 5,000 miles, though you won’t be able to book all of these awards online. Flights on Cathay Pacific, for example, must be booked over the phone.
