What is your Air France redemption worth?

Pointy is a free Chrome extension that adds a cents-per-point value badge to each flight in Air France-KLM Flying Blue’s award search, right on klm.com, so you can tell a great redemption from a poor one before you book.

2 real Air France searches

We ran these searches on klm.com. Prices and award charts change, so your search will differ, which is why Pointy works it out live, on the page.

Using Pointy on Air France

  1. Search with points

    Go to klm.com, turn on the points, miles or award option and search as usual. Pointy reads the points price and the cash price already on the page. There’s nothing to type.

    Air France shows cash and award prices in separate views. Load both, in either order, and Pointy pairs them up. The bar at the top of the page tells you which view it still needs.

  2. Read the badge

    Each result with both a cash and a points price gets a badge with its value in cents per point: the cash price ÷ the points price × 100. Higher is better. The label compares each value with your own Air France searches once you have 30 saved results there.

  3. Handles all the special fees

    Hover over a badge to see how it was worked out.

    • Currency: other currencies are converted to US dollars at a daily rate.
    • Taxes: Pointy uses the price with taxes included wherever the site shows one.
    • Award taxes on flights: taken off the cash price the same way.
    • Round trips: values compare whole stays, and both legs of a round trip.

    Fares that may mix cabins (part business, part economy) get no badge, so they never pass for a full-cabin deal.

Know the value before you book.
