New Program and New Data
The EuroBonus Star Alliance rates are now included in our global awards rate calculator. The program has a very large North & Central Africa, Middle East zone. A flight from Dubai to Madeira is in the same zone.
We have also added the Flex rates in the Emirates Skywards program, so that the searches for that program are now comprehensive. Most rates are calculated through the Dubai hub.
Tunisair's Fidelys program is a new addition to the system. It has some interesting rates in the Mediterranean region, e.g. Barcelona - Tunis.

NEW TRANSFER FUNCTIONALITY!
We have added new functionality to our award rates comparison and calculation tool. On the results page you can now click on the "Transfer Rates" button to find out how many points you need to transfer from a partner program to a frequent flyer program for the specific destination pair and frequent flyer program(s) you just searched.

13 April, 2012
Two New Star Alliance Programs Added
Miles & Smiles (Turkish Airlines) and ShebaMiles (Ethiopian Airlines) are both members of the Star Alliance program. Star Alliance rates for both these programs have been added to the Milez calculator. There are now 11 Star Alliance programs on the system to compare.
Some unexpected zoning makes for interesting rates, e.g. Nigeria is zoned with Europe and North Africa in Miles & Smiles so that a London-Lagos flight can theoretically be redeemed for 30,000 miles in economy.
In the ShebaMiles program the Maldives are zoned in Oceania (!), Melbourne to Male looks attractive!
We have also added the full gamut of rates for the standard Miles & Smiles rates, i.e. "capacity controlled" as well as "seat guaranteed" rates (high and low seasons) are included.
