Searching for SkyTeam award flights and reward availability can feel like a daunting task, especially with 17+ member airlines and no unified loyalty program. Each airline has its own website, frequent flyer program, and SkyTeam flight search system, making it time-consuming to find the best redemption options. In 2026, SkyTeam is going through major changes — ITA Airways has left for Star Alliance, Korean Air and Asiana are merging, and dynamic pricing is now the norm across most member programs.
Thankfully, AwardFares is the fastest SkyTeam award search tool available, consolidating results from multiple SkyTeam partners in one easy-to-use platform. This guide will walk you through how to search SkyTeam flights, compare miles redemption prices across programs, and book SkyTeam award flights step by step.
Key Takeaways
- Search SkyTeam flights with points: Use AwardFares to check award availability on Delta SkyMiles, Flying Blue, SAS EuroBonus, and more — all in one SkyTeam flight search.
- Sort by price to find cheap reward flights: Instantly find the cheapest SkyTeam award flights by sorting results by Economy, Business, or First Class mileage cost.
- Compare miles redemption across programs: The same SkyTeam flight can cost very different amounts depending on which loyalty program you book through. AwardFares shows you all options side by side.
- Book SkyTeam award flights faster: Set alerts to get notified when seats open up, then book directly through the airline’s website.

What’s New With SkyTeam in 2026?
SkyTeam has gone through significant changes over the past year. Here’s what you need to know:
- ITA Airways officially left SkyTeam and joined Star Alliance in April 2026 as part of its Lufthansa Group integration. If you used to book ITA flights through Flying Blue or Delta SkyMiles, you’ll need to look at Star Alliance programs (United MileagePlus, Aeroplan, LifeMiles) instead.
- Korean Air and Asiana are merging, consolidating two SkyTeam members into one. Asiana (previously Star Alliance) is being absorbed into Korean Air. This simplifies Korean routes but reduces the total number of SkyTeam carriers.
- SAS is now fully integrated into SkyTeam, having joined in September 2024. SAS EuroBonus is one of the best programs for searching SkyTeam partner awards, especially for European and Scandinavian routes.
- SkyTeam’s intermodal partnerships with Eurostar and Trenitalia continue expanding, offering integrated air-and-rail travel options across Europe.
- Dynamic pricing is now dominant across SkyTeam programs. Delta SkyMiles has used dynamic pricing for years, and most other SkyTeam partners have followed suit, making comparison tools like AwardFares essential for finding the best deals.
- Loyalty Benefits Calculator: SkyTeam’s tool lets you input your loyalty program, status level, and operating airline to view applicable benefits across member airlines — useful for understanding your perks when flying partners.
How to Find SkyTeam Award Flights (Step-by-Step)
Discover how to efficiently search for SkyTeam award availability using AwardFares.
Heads-Up
For this tutorial, you need access to an AwardFares Gold or Diamond plan to utilize all search functionalities. You can try these plans for free for 24 hours. With the Basic (free) version of AwardFares, you can only explore recent search results from other users.
Step 1: Visit AwardFares
Sign up for a free Basic account to view shared results from other users. For live searches on any route, upgrade to Gold or Diamond. Sign up here.
Step 2: Filter by SkyTeam Airlines
In the Airlines filter, select SkyTeam only. This ensures that results include only SkyTeam partner airlines.
Step 3: Choose a Frequent Flyer Program
There’s no unified loyalty program for SkyTeam. Instead, each member airline has its own loyalty program that you can use to earn points and redeem for award flights. In the Loyalty Program field, select one or more of the member airline programs to search. The same flight can cost very different amounts depending on which program you book through, so checking multiple is key:
- Air France-KLM Flying Blue
- Delta SkyMiles
- SAS EuroBonus
- Aeromexico Rewards
- Virgin Atlantic Flying Club
Step 4: Add Your Route
Enter your departure and arrival airports in the From and To fields. For example, to search between Seoul (ICN) and Amsterdam (AMS), input those cities.
Step 5: Explore Travel Dates
Add a travel date using the Calendar field.
Then, AwardFares will search for available flights on that day, showing the results in a list below.
Expand any flight to see seat availability, taxes, and seat maps.
Use the Timeline View to explore availability across multiple dates, with different cabin classes indicated by color-coded bars.
Step 6: Sort by Price
AwardFares can easily sort search results by price and class. Use the Eco, Prem, Biz, or First header tabs to filter affordable options across dates, routes, and airlines.
Here’s an example sorted by Economy Class:
Premium Economy:
Business Class:
Step 7: Apply Additional Filters (Optional)
Apply additional filters to tailor your search, including Number of Stops (e.g., direct flights only), Passengers, Aircraft Type, Layover Airports, and even Maximum Price you are willing to pay.
Step 8: Book Your Flight
Once you’ve found your desired flight, click the Book button.
AwardFares will redirect you to the airline’s booking page with your search criteria pre-filled.
Why Is AwardFares the Easiest Way to Find SkyTeam Award Flights?

With AwardFares, you get a fast, streamlined experience, saving hours of manual work.

SkyTeam Round the World (RTW) Awards
SkyTeam previously offered a Round the World (RTW) Fare that let travelers visit multiple destinations across its global network on a single cash ticket. The program offered four mileage tiers (26,000 to 39,000 miles flown) in Economy, Business, and First Class. However, SkyTeam has permanently discontinued its RTW ticket program — it is no longer available for purchase.
If you’re looking for a round-the-world-style trip using SkyTeam airlines, your best option in 2026 is to build your own multi-city itinerary by booking individual award flights with miles. Programs like Flying Blue and Delta SkyMiles let you book one-way segments on any SkyTeam carrier, and AwardFares lets you search each leg independently to find the best availability and prices.
Pro Tip: Build Your Own RTW with Miles
Use AwardFares to search each leg of your trip separately (e.g., NYC-Paris, Paris-Bangkok, Bangkok-Tokyo, Tokyo-NYC). Piece together the cheapest award flights across different SkyTeam programs for each segment — this DIY approach often costs fewer miles than a traditional RTW ticket would have.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which SkyTeam loyalty program is the best for award flights?
It depends on your route and goals. Air France-KLM Flying Blue is one of the most versatile options, with frequent promo rewards and good partner availability. SAS EuroBonus is excellent for European routes and offers competitive pricing on SkyTeam partner flights. Delta SkyMiles uses fully dynamic pricing, so costs vary widely — but it’s the easiest to earn miles in the U.S. Use AwardFares to compare prices across all of them before booking.
Is ITA Airways still part of SkyTeam?
No. ITA Airways officially left SkyTeam and joined Star Alliance in April 2026 as part of its Lufthansa Group integration. To book ITA flights with miles, you’ll now need to use Star Alliance programs like United MileagePlus, Air Canada Aeroplan, or Avianca LifeMiles.
Can I use transferable points for SkyTeam flights?
Yes. Transferable points from Amex Membership Rewards, Chase Ultimate Rewards, Capital One Miles, Citi ThankYou Points, and Bilt Rewards can be transferred to various SkyTeam programs. Flying Blue and Virgin Atlantic Flying Club are common transfer partners. Always check current transfer ratios before committing your points.
How do I find the cheapest SkyTeam business class flights?
In AwardFares, filter by SkyTeam airlines, enter your route, and sort by the Biz column. This instantly ranks all available business class seats by mileage cost across dates and programs. Compare the same flight through different SkyTeam loyalty programs — the price difference can be significant.
What happened to the Korean Air and Asiana merger?
Korean Air and Asiana Airlines are merging within SkyTeam. Asiana (previously a Star Alliance member) is being absorbed into Korean Air, consolidating two SkyTeam members into one. This simplifies booking Korean routes but reduces the total number of SkyTeam carriers.
Is the SkyTeam Round the World ticket still available?
No. SkyTeam has permanently discontinued its Round the World (RTW) fare program. However, you can build your own RTW-style itinerary by booking individual one-way award flights on SkyTeam carriers using programs like Flying Blue or Delta SkyMiles. Use AwardFares to search each leg separately and piece together the best availability and prices across your desired destinations.
