History

AwardFares states that it has been making award travel accessible since 2017. It was built as an award flight search engine to help travelers find available seats using airline miles and points across multiple frequent flyer programs. The platform was designed to address a growing gap: as airlines shift toward dynamic pricing and loyalty programs grow more opaque, more travelers are earning miles than ever, but fewer know how to use them well. Over time, AwardFares expanded its feature set to include real-time search across multiple loyalty programs, broad search of recent results, country and continent search, timeline views, email alerts, a journey builder for round-trip and complex itineraries, live seat maps, award zone search, and advanced filters. The service reports searching across 17 frequent flyer programs simultaneously and showing real-time availability that matches exactly what airlines display. By the time of its official site's about page, AwardFares reported being trusted by 150,000+ users worldwide, with 500M+ flights searched daily and a 4.6 Trustpilot score. Its stated mission is to make award travel accessible to everyone by bringing transparency and simplicity to an increasingly complex loyalty landscape, and its vision is a world where every frequent flyer can confidently navigate loyalty programs and unlock the full potential of their earned rewards.
