Find an award flight with my miles
Award seats you can book with your points, the miles and fees, and the value of each mile.
- You start it: When you start it
- Asks you first
What it does
The task
Sign in to programs with the vault and read my balance in each program. Search award seats on this route: route, on dates, in cabin, in each program and on its partner airlines. For each option, give the miles, the taxes and fees, the flight times and the stops. Compare each one with the cash price on Google Flights, and work out the value of one mile in cents. Put the 5 best options in a Google Sheet, the best value first. Ask me before you book or transfer any points.
- It works in any airline site, Google Flights and Google Sheets, in the workspace you pick, and signs in with passwords from your Cuiar vault.
- It runs once, when you start it.
- It stops for your approval before it sends, posts, pays, books or changes a record.
