FAQ

How does this work? The airline says there are no seats available!

Airlines don’t make it easy to redeem award points or miles. Their websites only show you a fraction of what’s available and unless you specifically ask an agent to search each individual partner, they will only search the airline they work for. Since I work for you, I can spend more time searching all partners and possible routings to find a ticket at the lowest mileage available. I have specialized tools and websites that I use to find the best ticket for your particular needs.

I tried booking with the airline and the fees were almost as much as paying for a ticket outright! Can you help with that?

Absolutely. Some frequent-flyer programs pass on “fuel surcharges” which can make the value you get out of airline miles almost nothing. This is most often seen with American Airlines’ AAdvantage, Air Canada’s Aeroplan, British Airways’ Avios, Lufthansa Miles & More, KLM/Air France Flying Blue, and US Airways’ Dividend Miles. However, all of these programs have partners who don’t pass on the fuel surcharges, so Book it with Miles can create an itinerary using these partners that can drastically reduce or eliminate these fees.

How much do you charge?

We charge $199 for the first passenger and $99 for each additional passenger on the same itinerary for a round-trip flight with up to one stopover. So for two passengers, you would be paying $298 total. Since airlines limit the number of seats available to book using miles, it can get very difficult to book more than a few seats on the same flights. It may be necessary to split the group if you have a large number of passengers. This can be discussed during your consultation if it is a problem.

How long does it take?

This depends on how complex and difficult it is to find availability for your preferences. If you see an “Ask me a question!” button on the bottom-right of your browser window, you can click that and start talking with me immediately to get started right away. Most consultations span several days before we find the perfect flights for you.
