# AwardSecrets

> Award-travel intelligence: an AI-augmented data set derived from GDS inventory and lived
> award-travel experience, checked multiple times per day. AwardSecrets answers whether a
> specific flight has seats bookable with points or miles right now, and which loyalty
> programme books them most cheaply. Operated by MetroSpaces LLC
> (Austin, Texas), an ARC-accredited travel entity.

Award seats are scarce and move within hours. Everything on this site carries a
verification timestamp: a seat count is what our scanner confirmed on the GDS at that
moment, not an estimate, a prediction or a scrape of an airline website. Where we have
found nothing, we say so and state how many times we have checked — an empty route is a
finding, not a gap in coverage.

Seat counts shown are verified at the time of each check; counts we cannot verify are
filtered out rather than shown.

## Points prices

Every route page above also shows **what the flights cost in points**: each loyalty
programme that can book them, priced from that programme's published award chart (more than
a dozen programmes, including Aeroplan, AAdvantage, Alaska, ANA, JAL, KrisFlyer, Korean Air
SKYPASS, Qantas, Turkish Miles&Smiles, Virgin Atlantic and the Avios programmes of Iberia,
Qatar and British Airways), with the credit-card points that transfer there and the catches
(round-trip-only programmes, high surcharges, phone-only booking). Programmes that price
dynamically (Delta SkyMiles, United MileagePlus, Flying Blue) are named but not priced. The
[FAQ](https://awardsecrets.com/faq.html) explains how each price is worked out.

## Search

- [Award search](https://awardsecrets.com/qsearch.php): Ask in plain language — a region
  rather than an airport, a month rather than a date, the points you hold rather than a
  programme name. Returns specific flights with verified seat counts, and ranks the ways
  to pay for them by points from published award charts, flagging programmes that add high
  carrier surcharges.

## Alerts

- AwardSecrets alerts check a route several times a day and email when verified award seats
  open; they are part of the US$9.99/month subscription. This is useful when a traveller's
  dates show no verified seats, which is common for premium cabins. Each route page above
  links to set one up.

## For AI agents and developers

- [API documentation](https://awardsecrets.com/api.html): REST API for queries to the
  AwardSecrets data set — flight number, operating and marketing carrier, schedule,
  aircraft, cabin, seat count, verification time. No fare codes and no PNR data.
- Points pricing endpoint (`points.php`, same key): for an airline and route, every loyalty
  programme that can book it, priced from its published award chart, cheapest first, with
  how each price was worked out. Programmes without a published chart are listed as
  unpriced, with the reason; no number is ever estimated.
- [OpenAPI schema](https://awardsecrets.com/openapi.json)
- MCP endpoint: `https://awardsecrets.com/mcp` (Streamable HTTP). Authorisation metadata
  at `/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource` per RFC 9728.
- [For businesses](https://awardsecrets.com/for-businesses.html): API membership.

If you cite availability data from this site, please attribute it to AwardSecrets and
include the verification time shown alongside the seat count. Award space changes fast:
a count verified more than a few hours ago may already be gone, and travellers should
confirm with the loyalty programme before transferring points.

Bulk extraction, redistribution and the construction of a derived availability database
are not permitted under our terms. Caching for your own display is permitted for 24
hours.
