When you search with Google Flights, Points Path performs an identical flight search with each of its covered airlines, but requests prices in points or miles instead of cash. The results are then combined with Google’s results, so you’re always seeing the most up-to-date pricing available from both Google and the airlines themselves.

Points Path currently offers award pricing for the frequent flyer programs of American, Delta, JetBlue, and United. This includes all flights on the four airlines themselves, as well as flights with partners whenever Google Flights includes American, Delta, JetBlue, or United as a marketing carrier.

Yes! We’re already working on adding more programs, and you’ll be seeing them very soon.

Nothing! While in the future, there may be a small monthly fee for personalized or advanced features, the basic Points Path search extension will always be free.

Points Path’s exclusive algorithm checks the pricing on thousands of flights a day and uses that data to determine a median value for the points or miles of each frequent flyer program. The algorithm then uses those valuations to convert the award price of each flight into an equivalent cash price, adds in any taxes or fees, and compares the result to the cash fare to determine which price is lower. As of right now, the median values for each of Points Path’s covered programs are 1.1 cents per mile for Delta, 1.25 cents for United, 1.3 cents for American, and 1.3 cents for JetBlue. However, in the near future, those values will shift up and down daily based on ongoing pricing data. When that happens, Points Path will transparently provide each day’s calculated program valuations to our users.

Yes. While the visual experience is a bit cluttered, the two extensions will work together (and we plan to make this integration even more seamless in the future).

We have received reports of users successfully installing and running Points Path on other Chromium-based browsers. However, we have not yet tested the extension on other browsers beyond Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge, so we cannot guarantee it will work. Also, since Apple’s Safari browser uses a different architecture, Points Path will not run on Safari (though we’re planning to release a Safari version in the near future).
