Sooner or later, most of you will have a hard time using your miles. That’s why we announce new routes and cover service increases on existing routes. You should pay attention to this information because when an airline rolls out a new route or adds flights to an existing one, the chances of getting mileage award seats can increase. Here’s a quick guide to routes with seats for the taking right now. Unless otherwise indicated, availability evaluations are based on round-trip travel.
