What is Milez?

Milez.biz allows you to calculate and compare flight redemption rates of different frequent flyer programs. Have you ever wondered which frequent flyer program has the best award rates ... specifically for the flights you are interested in?

Simply type in the destinations you are interested in (if you know the airport codes, only type in three letters, otherwise keep typing for a longer list), select the destinations from the auto-complete options and let the application calculate the miles (or points) needed for that journey! If you are not interested in all rates from all programs you can also filter by program, select as many or as few frequent flyer programs as you wish. If you don't select any programs specifically the engine will return all the rates it finds. No longer do you have to figure out which zone a city is in or what the distance between two destinations is and then try to find the corresponding rate on the programs' websites. The calculator does it all for you.

Many frequent flyer programs have very similar rewards systems and some have very differing rates. Award rates are often based on how a country or city is zoned; differences in zoning lead to interesting rate discrepancies. Give it a try, some destinations yield some surprising results!

In addition, you can now find out how many points you need to transfer from other loyalty programs in order to have enough miles in the frequent flyer program you're interested in, simply click on the "transfer rates" button on the results page.

On the Max Your Milez page, we also present promotions offered by the frequent flyer programs on a time limited basis. These are rates that we cannot include in the calculator due to their time-limited nature but are worth a look if you're wondering how to invest your miles in flights.
