Airline codes

Check out our world-famous Award Travel 101 Transfer Partner Matrix.

Airport codes

It's necessary when for searching for award flights that you know where you're going. 

Class of Service codes

For simplicity these are boiled down to 3 major:

Tip of the week

Use Award Wallet. Once you have a bunch of cards it’s hard to keep track of all the credits and benefits! Angie received an email from AwardWallet that she hasn't used the $75 credit on the WN Priority card! Keeping track of how you used a FNA can add value.
