Good news FT’ers, we now support a total of 20 programs after adding pricing support for 5 new programs: Mileage Plan, KrisFlyer, Flying Blue, Qantas Frequent Flyer and Elevate. We’ve also updated our database to account for the AAdvantage recent devaluation (RIP old AA award chart). A few examples to illustrate:

• NYC-HKG pricing on MileagePlan
• All the destinations you can book on Flying Blue departing from JFK: especially useful since there isn't an official award chart for the program
• New and improved KrisFlyer program page

Would be happy to take any feedback from the FT community!

Just checked it out with all of the updates. It looks really fantastic. Kudos!

But I guess you'll need to do an update after the MileagePlan EK devaluation

Thanks, you're right! We've updated our Mileage Plan rates. (See our NYC-DXB award pricing calculator)

On the bright side, we've added Hainan Airlines as a new Mileage Plan member (it's now listed as an option for the below ORD-PEK query). It's a great option for those looking to make their way to China!

Can the airline 2 letter code be incorporated in the table descriptions? AA, AC, AS, CX etc. LotusMiles is which airline? Hainan Airlines?
Can the table be vertical instead of horizontal? It’s getting wide now. But some may like it horizontal.

This is an interesting idea—we can definitely understand how people may not know which airlines belong to what programs. We'll think of some ways to surface more information while staying true to the user experience.

This is actually a good problem to have! We've recently added more programs, making the table more wide. We think it's more useful in a horizontal format, but there might be a clever solution that can make everyone happy.

Announcing AwardAce Booking Guides
 

Hi all – we're really excited to announce our new v1.4 release: Booking Guides that can show you exactly how to find and book award tickets on any airline, across 22 programs.

Our guides explain exactly what airlines are bookable with each program (and vice versa), in a format that doesn't skip a single step. They're especially useful when trying to book partner tickets, which often cannot be searched for online.

We've also made several functional and design upgrades to our existing Pricing tool, which now supports a total of 25 programs! Let us know what you think.

very nice! keep it up!

Good news – with the addition of JetBlue's TrueBlue and Southwest's Rapid Rewards, our pricing tool now supports 27 programs!

While we aren't able to price out the tickets (since award cost is tied to the realtime cash price), we can let you know when JetBlue or Southwest operates flights for any given route (as we do for this NYC–MCO search).

We've spent the past several months releasing new features, so we're spending the next few weeks putting in some work on our bread and butter: our pricing tool. We love to hear from the FT community, let us know what you think can be improved!

Any way to include a high/low fuel surcharge indicator? That's really half the battle.

Working on it! We support quite a few programs, so we're trying to figure out the best way to programmatically get fuel surcharge information an infinite combination of airline routes.

We're excited to announce that our pricing tool now includes fuel surcharge indicators! A lot of you expressed interest in them so we hope you'll find them useful.

See this JFK–LHR Executive Club search to see them in action. Each program card will show a general estimate given every airline and region combination.

We've taken our new fuel surcharge improvements and distilled them into neat fuel surcharge guides! Our program pages will now show a list of partner airlines and a range of fuel surcharges you may expect to pay. For more precise estimates, use our pricing tool to examine fuel surcharges on a route-by-route basis.

The award pricing calculator results display seems to have changed (for the worse)
Can there be an option for the old simple useful display?

I'm sorry you feel that way! Especially since you are a long-time user.

What about the new format do you specifically find worse? We've tested this option over the past few weeks and have only gotten positive feedback from our users.

Is AwardAce dead...?
 

As the title says - am I doing something wrong? I am getting a Bad Gateway error when trying to access their website.
