Expanded Award Flight Search Lands in the Bilt Travel Portal
Now Bilt Members can compare cash prices to transfer partner award pricing across the majority of Bilt's airline partners, all in one place
We're excited to share the next evolution of award flight search in the Bilt Travel Portal. Through a new integration with Points Path—the award search tool trusted by points enthusiasts—you can now compare cash prices to transfer partner award pricing for the majority of Bilt's airline partners, all on a single screen. No separate tools; no switching between tabs. Just a clearer, faster way to find the best use of your Bilt Points.
"Points Path is one of the most powerful tools in the points and miles world, and we're thrilled to bring it directly into the Bilt Travel experience—at no cost to our members," said Richard Kerr, GM of Travel at Bilt. "This is just the beginning of what we're building together. Our members deserve the best tools available to maximize their points, and that's exactly what this partnership delivers."
What's New
Points Path overlays award pricing directly onto flight search results, giving you an even more detailed side-by-side view of what a flight costs in cash versus how many points it takes when you transfer to one of Bilt's airline partners.
When you search for flights, you'll now see:
The cash price for your flight
How many Bilt Points your flight would cost through direct redemption at 1.25 cents each
How many points you'd need if you transfer to eligible Bilt airline partners—all in the same view
Why This Changes Everything
Let's be honest: figuring out whether to book directly or transfer points has always required a level of expertise most travelers shouldn't need. You've had to open multiple tabs, cross-reference availability, and hope the math worked out. This integration eliminates that friction.
Here's how it plays out: Say you're searching for a flight and the cash fare is $900. You could use Bilt Points to book it directly through Bilt Travel—or you might find that transferring to one of Bilt's airline partners gets you the same seat for significantly fewer points. Now you can see both options instantly and make the call that's right for you.
In some cases, booking directly through Bilt will require fewer points. In others, transferring to a partner airline will offer better value. Either way, you'll know—immediately—without having to be a points expert to figure it out.
How It Works
Search your route in the Bilt Travel Portal (web or app)
Tap "Award availability" to expand transfer partner pricing alongside cash fares
Compare your options side by side
Book the way that works best for you
Rolling Out the First Phase
This integration is launching in an initial beta phase. Transfer points pricing is currently available in all cabin classes on one-way searches. Not all Bilt airline transfer partners are included yet (but the majority are!) as we continue coordinating with our partners on the integration.
This first phase also covers flights operated directly by each airline. In the coming weeks, we’ll begin expanding to include flights across alliances, meaning you'll soon be able to find awards bookable across the networks of our airline partners using points transferred from Bilt, all within the same interface alongside cash pricing.
"Bilt has always been one of the most innovative companies in the loyalty space, and this partnership is a natural fit," said Julian Kheel, Founder and CEO of Points Path. "What we've built together gives Bilt members the kind of side-by-side comparison that used to require real expertise to pull off on your own—now it's just there, integrated into the experience. We're proud to be part of making that possible."
What's Next?
This is the first step in what will be a broader partnership with Points Path. As coverage expands, we'll be working to bring some of Points Path's most powerful features to Bilt members, including personalized award alerts that notify you when great redemption opportunities open up on routes you care about.
Our goal has always been to help every Bilt Member get more value from their points—without needing a background in loyalty programs to do it. This partnership is a big step in that direction.
