OK. I checked this route by BA calculator. It said DUB-BLR has one or more connections. One of connection is DUB-LHR (4K avios) and LHR-BLR (16.25K avios). So, total is 20.25K. However, our tool doesn't checked airline route yet, and thus displays non-existent direct flight result (DUB-LHR, 16.25K avios). When airline route checking mechanism is integrated into our tool, it will display correct value.

It's obviously quite complex as there can be many different ways of getting from A to B, meaning there could be three or more different mileage prices even before the question of peak and off peak rates is addressed.

Nice tool! Works perfectly on Safari.
You could add Delta. Charts can be found here: http://deltapoints.boardingarea.com/...eference-post/
And don't remove BA as someone suggested. Just add a note that the price applies only if a direct flight exists.

i searched for a one way ticket on your tool. i got cheapest 12.5k avios on BA off peak.
i tried the same search on BA award flights, i got various option (no 12.5k though) with additional cash (for taxes).20k avios plus tax was the best option for off peak.

I think your tool is amazing. Definitely a great job done.
Do you have a tool that determines when it's best to use Points/Miles in lieu of Cash when making a booking?
I've looked all over. Last night I decided to make a spreadsheet to help me with the basic calculations.
Can you take a look, and let me know what you think?

BTW, I checked the spreadsheet you posted.
And It's a good idea. We don't have that yet.
But we can consider to develop that tool in the future.
