Benchmark cash fares
Indicative miles — every cabin, every program
Modeled at each program's typical redemption value. Gold rows mark the smartest balance for that cabin. Economy is included — it's often the true value pick.

"Best" marks the program that delivers the highest cents-per-point value at our benchmark fare — not necessarily the lowest miles. Actual award pricing varies.
You'll pay cash on top. Plan for it.
Award tickets aren't free — expect airport taxes, government charges, and (on some programs) fuel surcharges. Long-haul economy typically runs $100–$300 in taxes, business $150–$500, and Qantas–Emirates business to Europe can exceed $1,200 in surcharges alone. Compare taxes as carefully as miles.
