ITA by Google and MileWise let you search flights in cash, miles and points
- cperciva 14y agoI want to see the other way around: Search for flights with either "I want to earn X miles" or "miles are worth X cents to me" criteria added. Often the cheapest flights I find are worse deals because they don't have the frequent flyer miles "kickback".
- MattRogish 14y agoYup, I go on lots of "Mile Runs" and it's actually quite difficult to do this with ITA Matrix as-is.
- mcargian 14y agoAgreed. I wish ITA had the Google Flights speed and interface for browsing multiple cities and dates but still allowed the advanced routing rules. Unfortunately, I doubt people like us doing MRs are their target audience.
- overbroad 14y agoHave they changed it? ITA used to be very popular with the FlyerTalk MR crowd. I used to use it for the searching flights stage (getting info but not booking). I think the best matrix would be something like OAG, listing all flights that each airline is currently offering, but also listing prices on each flight. A pipe dream if ever there was one.
- nmeyer 14y agoSo while we don't have a way explore flights based on say, earn maximum miles per dollar, we do sort by what ee call WisePrice - which actually does factor in the "kickback" you get from miles earned on the flight. We include any elite status or cabin class bonuses too -- and you can value miles at any rate you'd like in your preferences.
- cperciva 14y agoCool! You should mention that somewhere (more) obvious on your website. Also, please add support for multi-city itineraries.
