How much are my airline miles worth? — FAQ
- How much are my airline miles worth?
- Most airline miles are worth about 1.2–1.8 cents each in typical redemption value, and more for premium-cabin awards. Multiply your balance by the program's per-mile value to estimate the total.
- Why do different programs have different values?
- Each program prices awards differently and adds different surcharges, so a mile in one program buys more travel than a mile in another. Programs with strong premium-cabin sweet spots tend to be worth more.
- Are these values exact?
- No — they're planning estimates based on typical redemptions. Your actual value depends on the specific award, cabin, route, and any surcharges. Premium cabins are worth more than the averages.
