About
One question. One answer.
Should you pay cash for this flight, or use miles? Point2Air gives you a real answer — in seconds, with the math shown.
Why we built it
Search any flight on Google Flights and you’ll see the cash price. Search the same flight on an award engine and you’ll see the miles needed. But to know if the redemption is actually a good deal, you have to flip between tabs, do math, look up which of your credit cards transfers to that program, and figure out what the transfer ratio is.
Point2Air puts all of it on one screen. Every flight, with the cash price, the miles required across every relevant program, the cents-per-mile value, and exactly which of your cards can get you there — including any active transfer bonuses.
What you get
- •Cash + miles on the same card. Real-time cash fares (powered by Duffel) next to real-time award availability (powered by Seats.aero) for every program that prices the flight.
- •Transfer paths spelled out. Chase UR, Amex MR, Citi TY, Capital One, Bilt, Wells Fargo, Marriott Bonvoy — for every airline result you see exactly which cards transfer in, at what ratio, and whether a transfer bonus is live.
- •Cents-per-mile value rating. Every redemption is rated against the cash price so you know if 70K miles for a $1,400 flight is great (2.0¢/mi) or mediocre (1.2¢/mi).
- •Nearby-date awards. If the date you searched costs 80K miles but the day before costs 25K, we surface that automatically.
What we don’t do
Point2Air is a searchtool, not a booking platform. We don’t sell you flights, hold inventory, or charge a markup. Every link goes to the airline or program where you actually complete the booking. That keeps us honest — we have no incentive to push you toward a particular fare.
We also don’t track your IP, sell your search history, or email-spam you. See our Privacy Policy for the details.
How we make money
Two ways, both transparent:
- •Pro subscription — $7/month unlocks unlimited results, the full transfer panel, filters, saved searches, and the round-trip return-leg view.Try free for 3 days.
- •Card referrals— when you apply for a recommended card through our link and are approved, we may earn a small bonus. This doesn’t affect which cards we recommend (we only list ones we’d use ourselves).

Frequently asked
Is Point2Air free?
You can search any flight without an account, but full results, the credit card transfer panel, filters, and saved searches require a Pro subscription ($7/month, 3-day free trial, cancel anytime).
Which credit cards does Point2Air cover?
Chase Ultimate Rewards, American Express Membership Rewards, Citi ThankYou Points, Capital One Miles, Bilt Rewards, Wells Fargo Rewards, and Marriott Bonvoy. We list every airline partner for each program and update transfer ratios quarterly.
How accurate is the award seat data?
Award availability comes from Seats.aero, which pulls live data from the airlines. It refreshes every few minutes, but availability can still change between when you search and when you try to book — always verify on the airline's site before transferring points (transfers are usually irreversible).
Can I book a flight directly through Point2Air?
No. Point2Air is a search tool, not a booking platform. Every result links out to the airline's site or program portal where you complete the booking. We never touch your payment info or hold inventory.
Does Point2Air search every airline?
Cash flights come from Duffel, which carries ~90% of the world's scheduled airlines. Award seats come from Seats.aero, which currently tracks ~25 major frequent-flyer programs including AAdvantage, Aeroplan, Avios, Flying Blue, KrisFlyer, MileagePlus, SkyMiles, and most Star Alliance/oneworld/SkyTeam programs.
What does the cents-per-mile rating mean?
It's the cash-equivalent value of each mile you'd spend. We calculate it as (cash price − taxes you'd still pay on the award) ÷ miles required. Anything ≥1.5¢/mi is generally a great redemption; below 1¢/mi means you'd typically be better off paying cash.
Are the credit-card recommendation links affiliate links?
Some are — when you apply through a referral link and are approved, we may earn a bonus. This doesn't affect which cards we recommend; we only list cards we'd use ourselves. Disclosure is shown alongside each card.
