The ClassFlyer blog

Award travel, written from data. Where a post states a price, it is one we observed on a date we name, and the methodology behind every number is public. No news treadmill: these are meant to still be right next year.

Finding award seats

Search strategy: how availability actually behaves, and how to be there when it opens.

EuroBonus and SkyTeam

The program we know best, after its biggest change in twenty years.

Cabins and aircraft

What you are really booking: the airframe, the seat, and how to check before you commit points.

Route guides

One route at a time, built on fares we have actually observed.

From the data

What a few hundred thousand observed award fares say, recomputed as they change.

Booking craft

The practical layer: rules, phone scripts and the small print that saves a booking.

Every number on these pages follows the same rules as the rest of the site: how we know this.
