Extension summary

If you’re never sure when’s the best time to use your frequent flyer miles, this is the tool you’ve been waiting for. Points Path is the first award flight search engine that provides both the cash price and the points price of every flight in a Google Flights search.

Using Points Path is easy. Just install it and then search for your trip as you normally would on Google Flights. In addition to getting Google’s regular cash results, Points Path will add the current points or miles price to each flight (when available) and then let you know which is the better deal.

And when you’re ready to book a flight, click through to the normal Google Flights booking page, where you’ll find the option to book with your points directly with the airline (via Points Path) right next to all the usual cash options. Points Path is an all-in-one solution that ensures you’re always getting the best deal for travel, no matter how you pay.

User reviews
Very promising and potentially helpful, though giving access to google.com (instead of google.com/travel) and access to a localhost URL is sketchy. Would update my review to 5 stars if those two were updated (no localhost, and not requiring my full google URL tracking which includes my searches)

After closing down my browser and taking a break from trying to figure out why there were no points showing on my flight searches, I re-opened, did a flight search and a spinning circle appeared where points are supposed to show up. The only points information I received there was: "Airline program not yet covered by points path", "could not load data", and "not available w/miles". Now I see that there is a paid version so it may be that I need to pay before this works. Not unusual for most apps. My mistake for not seeing it and realizing it before spending so much of my time trying to figure it out this afternoon.
