Question 1

What is Flightflyer and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

Flightflyer is an award-flight search engine that helps you find flights using points and miles. We scan 25+ airline loyalty programs at once, compare points prices, show live award availability, and help you find the lowest redemption options for any route.

Question 2

Which airlines and loyalty programs does Flightflyer support?

Accepted Answer

Flightflyer supports 25+ major US and global airline loyalty programs, including United MileagePlus, American AAdvantage, Delta SkyMiles, Alaska Mileage Plan, JetBlue TrueBlue, Aeroplan, Avios, Qatar Privilege Club, Emirates Skywards, Etihad Guest, KrisFlyer, Miles & More, Qantas Frequent Flyer, and more. We regularly add new programs.

Question 3

Is Flightflyer free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Flightflyer offers a free plan that gives you access to all 25+ mileage programs, cached award data (up to 7 days old), and the ability to browse popular routes. Our Premium plan unlocks real-time availability, advanced filters, unlimited alerts, and more.

Question 4

Does Flightflyer book flights for me?

Accepted Answer

No. Flightflyer is a search and comparison tool. Once you find the award seats you want, you book directly through the airline or loyalty program. We help you find the best deal — you complete the booking on your terms.

Question 5

How do I search for award flights on Flightflyer?

Accepted Answer

Enter your departure city, destination, and travel dates on the search page. Flightflyer scans 25+ airline loyalty programs simultaneously and shows you all available award seats, sorted by points price across Economy, Premium Economy, Business, and First Class cabins.

Question 6

What is the difference between cached and real-time results?

Accepted Answer

Cached results are award availability data that was collected up to 7 days ago — available on the Free plan. Real-time results are live searches performed the moment you search, showing the most current seat availability. Real-time search is available with the Premium plan.

Question 7

Can I search across multiple airlines at once?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Flightflyer searches all supported loyalty programs in a single query. You can compare award prices across United, American, Delta, Emirates, Qatar Airways, Singapore Airlines, and many more — all on one results page.

Question 8

How far in advance can I search for award flights?

Accepted Answer

Free users can search up to 60 days ahead. Premium users can search up to 360 days in advance, giving you access to the full booking window for planning trips well ahead of time.

Question 9

Can I compare Economy, Business, and First Class award seats?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Flightflyer lets you compare all four cabin classes side-by-side — Economy, Premium Economy, Business, and First Class — including points required, availability, taxes, and carrier surcharges.

Question 10

Can Flightflyer find last-minute award seats?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Many airlines release last-minute saver award seats. Flightflyer monitors live availability so you can grab last-minute Business and First Class award seats whenever they become available.

Question 11

What are award seat alerts?

Accepted Answer

Award seat alerts notify you when award availability opens up on a specific route and cabin class you're interested in. Instead of manually checking every day, Flightflyer monitors availability and sends you a notification when seats become available.

Question 12

How do alert notifications work?

Accepted Answer

When Flightflyer detects award availability matching your alert criteria, you'll receive instant notifications via email and SMS. Premium users get real-time SMS notifications so you can act quickly before seats are taken.

Question 13

How many alerts can I create?

Accepted Answer

Premium users can create unlimited award seat alerts. Free plan users can create a limited number of alerts. Each alert can be configured for a specific route, date range, and cabin class.

Question 14

Can I set alerts for specific cabin classes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. When creating an alert, you can choose which cabin class you want to track — Economy, Premium Economy, Business, or First Class. You can also create multiple alerts for the same route with different cabin preferences.

Question 15

What's included in the Free plan?

Accepted Answer

The Free plan includes access to 25+ mileage programs, cached award data (up to 7 days old), the ability to browse popular routes via the Explore feature, and basic search functionality. No credit card is required.

Question 16

How does the Premium plan differ from Free?

Accepted Answer

Premium unlocks real-time award availability (live data instead of cached), searching up to 360 days ahead, advanced filters (cabins, partners, alliances), multi-airport and region-based searches, unlimited alerts, instant email and SMS notifications, and the ability to request new routes to be tracked.

Question 17

Can I switch between monthly and yearly billing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can switch between monthly and yearly billing at any time from your account settings. Yearly billing saves you 20% compared to the monthly plan.

Question 18

What payment methods do you accept?

Accepted Answer

We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. All payments are securely processed through Stripe.

Question 19

What happens if I cancel my Premium subscription?

Accepted Answer

If you cancel, you'll continue to have Premium access until the end of your current billing period. After that, your account will revert to the Free plan. You won't lose any saved data or alert configurations.

Question 20

How does Flightflyer help me maximize the value of my points?

Accepted Answer

Flightflyer compares redemption rates across all supported programs so you can see which airline offers the best value for your points. Instead of redeeming for statement credits at a fraction of a cent per point, you can find award flights worth 5-10x more per point.

Question 21

Does Flightflyer help me find the lowest points price?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Flightflyer automatically highlights the lowest points price, best redemption value, and cheapest award seat options across multiple airlines and loyalty programs for any given route.

Question 22

What are transfer partners and how do they work?

Accepted Answer

Transfer partners are airline loyalty programs that allow you to transfer credit card points (like Chase Ultimate Rewards, Amex Membership Rewards, or Citi ThankYou Points) into airline miles. Flightflyer helps you find the best award seats across these partner programs so you can maximize your credit card points.

Question 23

Can I compare redemption values across different programs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Flightflyer shows the points cost for the same route across multiple loyalty programs side-by-side, making it easy to see which program offers the best deal for your specific trip.
