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.

Recent reviews

Unlike similar extensions, this one does not work unless you create an account and login the extension into the account. It looks like a data mining tool trying to benefit from Google Flights' popularity. In today's security sensitive world, it makes no sense to provide them your email for merely doing some searches.

This is a fantastic extension. Beyond the search function, it's incredibly helpful in recommending whether to use points or cash. I'd love to know more about the criteria they use for these evaluations. If they expanded to include more reward programs, I'd definitely consider making a donation or purchasing a premium version. Great work!
