Back in June, Alaska Mileage Plan announced a partnership with STARLUX Airlines, which means you can now start earning and redeeming miles on their flights.

For frequent travelers, airline loyalty programs offer a myriad of benefits that not only enhance the travel experience but make it more cost-effective. Since American Airlines introduced the very first frequent flyer program in the 80s, it became clear that staying loyal to one airline could reward customers a long way.

United MileagePlus is often praised as one of the best airline loyalty programs, but is it really the smartest way to redeem miles in 2025? With rising award costs and unpredictable pricing, some travelers argue that MileagePlus isn’t as rewarding as it used to be. However, for those who know where to look, there are still plenty of valuable sweet spots that make it possible to stretch your miles further than you might expect.

If you’re dreaming of your next adventure in 2025 and looking to maximize your frequent flyer miles, you’ve come to the right place.

I recently booked a last minute award trip from Europe to Tokyo. On hand I was very happy that my AwardFares alert notified me that two business class seats became available on the date I wanted. However, on the other hand, it was with Lufthansa, a business class product I haven’t really heard great things about. In any case, I’m always happy to try something new!

AwardFares lets you search flights to find available award seats in a quick way with modern user interface. In just a few clicks, you can search award availability across multiple frequent flyer programs, setup alerts, lookup seat maps and flight schedules.

In airline travel, married segments are two or more flights between city pairs that airlines sell together as a single bundled unit, rather than as two or more individual segments. This means that the flights must be booked together and cannot be changed or canceled independently.

Whether you haven’t booked your summer holidays yet, or you are looking for cool places for a quick trip, this post is for you. Earlier this year, SAS has announced over 5000 new routes and frequency increases for this summer, and there are still plenty of seats left to book using EuroBonus points.

Alaska Airlines has been rolling out a new search UI for Mileage Plan which currently does not support searching Business and First Class redemptions with partner airlines: it only works for Alaska Airlines. There are no known date or official statement from the airline for when this features will be back.

AwardFares looks great on mobile, and it doesn’t sacrifice any of the features compared its the desktop version. You can use AwardFares on-the-go to easily set up alerts, perform broad searches and check seat maps.

The results for the 2023 Skytrax Awards were announced, and Singapore Airlines was selected as World’s Best Airline. Even though Skytrax is just one of the awards given in the aviation industry, it’s great to see they recognize Singapore Airlines as the one offering a top-notch service on a modern fleet. Definitely one of our favorites at AwardFares.

We are happy to announce that now it is possible to perform searches with AwardFares without and account! Previously, users needed to register to the platform to be able use the tool.
