How to read this
- Points are for one person, one way, before taxes and carrier charges. These can be small (Air India, Aeroplan) or large (Virgin, Lufthansa) on the same route.
- A ratio like 1:2 means one card point becomes two airline points. 2:1 means you need two card points for each airline point. “Via Marriott” means converting to Marriott Bonvoy first.
- Prices come from each programme’s published award chart. Saver seats are limited, and dynamic programmes can price higher on busy dates. Always check the programme’s own award search before transferring points.
