Award flights on a silver platter

Award flights are seats airlines release to book with miles instead of cash. Redeeming credit-card points through your card's own travel portal locks each point at a fixed rate, usually 1 cent per point toward any fare.

Transferring those same points to an airline loyalty partner — for example moving Amex or Chase points to an airline program like Delta — and booking an award seat can be worth several times more per point on the exact same flight, especially in business and first class.

The Flight Butler searches those transfer partners for you, ranks every option by the cents-per-point value your miles actually earn, and shows you which transfer to make and where to book.

Tell it your route, dates, cabin, and which cards and loyalty programs you can pay with. It searches airline award programs and their transfer partners at once, then ranks every seat by the cents-per-point value your miles actually earn and compares it against the cash fare — so you book the best redemption, not the first one you find.

Cash-fare search engines don't show award space, and points blogs describe sweet spots but not the seats that are open today. The Flight Butler searches live award availability across programs and their transfer partners, then scores each option by the value your points actually earn — so “is there a seat” and “is it worth it” get answered in one place.

No. The Flight Butler is free to use while we're in early access, which is invite-only for now while we grow carefully.

It covers the major transferable point currencies — American Express Membership Rewards, Chase Ultimate Rewards, Capital One, Citi ThankYou, Bilt, and Wells Fargo — along with the airline programs they transfer to, plus programs like Southwest Rapid Rewards. Our free transfer guides break down each bank's partners, ratios, and transfer times.

No — you book directly in your own airline and loyalty accounts, so your points and miles never leave your control. The Flight Butler finds and ranks the options and shows you exactly where to book and which transfers to make to get there.

Results reflect award availability at the time you search. Award seats can appear and disappear quickly, so if you find one you like, it's best to book it promptly.

Your account is protected by a private login, and we only ask for what a search needs — your route, dates, and the loyalty programs you hold. We never ask for your frequent-flyer or credit-card passwords or account numbers.
