I know that you can transfer your points to various partners, but is there a place, table, or chart that will tell me 'you can go to xx for xx points with xx airline'?
Frequent Flyer Programs (FFP) are not equal nor simple to understand.
There is no simple look up table for award cost(miles-points) vs earning vs award surcharges
Frequent flyer miles are not equal to earn or burn between ffp’s. 10,000 frequent flyer miles in 1 ffp may get you a longer award flight than 15,000 frequent flyer miles in another ffp. Each airline FFP has different rules for using (burning) those miles/points for awards and different copay $$ fees. And then there are award cash surcharges with some ffp’s/routes/airlines. With awards taxes are the same for all airlines for the same route and class. Award surcharge can/are different.
Awards assistance tools
Use at your own risk. These may not be up to date. (These are not recommendations)
If a multi segment award check the rules/cost carefully. With some ffp’s it can 2 or more awards.
Some awards/airlines/routes can have cash surcharges, in addition to real taxes.
