Introducing Award Flight Search to the Bilt Travel Portal

The game-changing feature shows you cash and award prices side-by-side—an industry first

We're thrilled to announce a breakthrough feature that fundamentally changes how easy it is to use your Bilt Points for travel. Starting today, you can now search for flights and instantly see both cash prices and how many Bilt Points you'd need if you transfer to our airline partners British Airways and Iberia—all in one seamless view.

What's New

For the first time ever, we've integrated directly with IAG Loyalty (the powerhouse behind British Airways, Iberia, Aer Lingus, and more) to show you real-time award availability and pricing. No more guessing, no more switching between multiple websites, and no more wondering if transferring points is worth it.

When you search for flights on the Bilt Travel Portal, you'll now see:

• The cash price for your flight

• How many Bilt Points that would cost through direct redemption at 1.25 cents each

• How many points you'd need if you transfer to British Airways or Iberia

Why This Changes Everything

Let's be real: transferring points can feel intimidating if you're not a points expert. You've had to juggle multiple websites, guess at availability, and hope you're getting a good deal. We've eliminated all that friction.

Here's a real example: A premium economy flight from New York to London on January 9th costs $1,564. You could use 125,120 Bilt Points to book it directly through our portal. OR, you could transfer just 43,000 Bilt Points to British Airways and book the exact same seat. That's nearly 3x the value, and now you can see these savings instantly.

How It Works

1. Search your route on the Bilt Travel Portal 

2. Toggle "Show award availability" in the filters

3. Compare your options side-by-side

4. Found a great deal? We'll walk you through exactly how to transfer and book

This capability is currently available for:

• Nonstop British Airways and Iberia flights

• All cabin classes (economy through first class)

• One-way searches (with round-trip coming soon)

Why We Built This

We believe every Bilt member deserves to maximize their points without needing a PhD in loyalty programs. This feature democratizes the insider knowledge that travel experts have always had and makes it simple to spot when transferring points can save you thousands.

Our vision is clear: empower you to make smarter decisions with your Bilt Points, whether that's booking directly through our portal for convenience or transferring to partners for maximum value.

What's Next

This is just the beginning. We're starting with British Airways and Iberia, but we have plans to expand this capability to more partners. Imagine being able to compare award prices across multiple airlines, or getting alerts when amazing transfer opportunities become available on your favorite routes, all just for being a Bilt member.
