Our story

Why we built Milescanner

The problem we set out to solve, and how the product solves it.

The problem

Award seats live on 25+ different sites, and they vanish while you're still opening tabs. Every programme prices the same seat differently, and none of them will show you what the others charge.

One search

Tell us your trip once - route, dates, cabin. We sweep live award space across every programme at once, including flexible dates and nearby airports, so nothing slips past the search.

Every price

Each programme's mileage price lines up side by side, cheapest first. Nothing cached, nothing stale - live seat counts and taxes for every cabin, before you commit a single point.

The alert

No seat yet? Set an alert and we'll watch the route around the clock. The moment a seat opens you get an email and SMS, usually before it reaches the forums.

How it works

Three steps to the seat up front

Search once, compare every programme, and let the alerts do the waiting.

FAQ

Frequently
Asked Questions

Milescanner is an award-flight search engine. We scan live seat availability across 25+ airline and transfer programs at once, then surface the lowest points price for the route you actually want to fly.

We read availability straight from the source in real time and compare every program side by side. When a route on your watchlist opens up, we let you know within seconds so you can grab the seat before it disappears.

No. We are a search and alert tool, not a booking agent. Once you find a seat you book it directly with the airline or program, so you stay in full control and your miles never pass through us.

We cover 25+ airline programs plus the major bank and credit-card partners, including American Express, Chase, Capital One, Citi, Bilt and Wells Fargo, so you can see the fastest way to move points where you need them.

You can start for free and search popular routes right away. Paid plans add live data, unlimited alerts, and deeper program coverage when you are ready for more.

Award seats often cost a fraction of the cash fare, especially in business and first class. How much you save depends on the route and dates, but many members save well over half the cash price.
