But it doesn't show prices, since the prices depend on which of the alliance's member airlines you're booking with, and each alliance has lots of airlines, and every airline has different award pricing (in some cases dynamic award pricing, so you can't even use a chart).
I use and like awardnexus. This is a good, useful summary, but I'll differ in one respect: For many airlines, the results do show the miles/$ cost.
Also, users should be aware that it is maybe 90-95 percent right. Occasionally, it will show false positives or not show all award availability for a given route. But it's still a valuable resource.
Finally, it's sometimes best to first search the long haul of a route (e.g., LAX-KHG), then add the shorter legs one has in mind. This occasionally turns up long-haul availability that otherwise wouldn't appear.

Not sure where you get this idea. It can search up to nine seats.

At one time there was a site that showed all the Delta Sky Miles deals , but I lost the bookmark !
Thanks
I assume you mean using Delta (or Flying Blue) miles. In that case, why not just go to the Delta (or Air France) site?
