Super handy to quickly see money and points in the same search results. Would be even cooler if they could add the match on cents per point, but very happy to have it as it is!
i dont want to see this it keeps popping up and i have tried to disable it. not needed nor wanted
Can you add Austin to the Luftansa First Class availability?
I really really like this extension. The only thing I think it's missing is an actual computed value for points-to-cents. The meter is cool, but I'd like to actually see the concrete number of points (could even be buried in the info button). For example, there was a United flight for 15,000 miles that cost $580 with cash. This is 3.8 cents per mile which gives me a numerical value I can can use to compare to the 1.5 cents/mile baseline with the Chase card. Anyways, great work and loving the extension so far!
Hi everyone. I'm Julian Kheel, the founder and CEO of Points Path. Unfortunately Google doesn't provide a space here for me to leave a note, so I'm resorting to leaving a temporary review to post this message.

So please, before you post a negative review, email us at [email protected] with your issue and let us try to solve it for you. Thanks!
Certainly significant privacy and security concerns. But, also, it clearly does not work correctly for Alaska Mileage Plan. I also think the explanation to another reviewer below: "If you didn't find any points prices on a particular search, it's because those airline programs currently don't have any availability. That's the fault of the airlines, not Points Path" is ridiculous. I made numerous searches with Points Path showing "not available with miles" and could easily cross check with Alaska and see that there's LOTS of availability. Not ready for prime time.
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)
Wow this is a fantastic extension. Super neat to see the detail, it loads quickly, and, while I have a slightly different "value per mile" i might apply in my head, the transparency and ability to see all this data in one place is incredible!!! For those on the fence (or who might have read negative reviews)...USE IT. IT'S GREAT. And the other reviews seem to be "user error" based on how simple these actions are. It's so easy to use!
Excellent
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.
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!
the feature I've always wanted
Great concept. Has now become the single most annoying plug in I have. Pops up EVERY TIME that I search flight on google flights. 95% of the time I use google flights I am NOT looking for award flights. Deleting it. Just not worth the high level of annoyance.
I just downloaded and found the chrome extension super helpful in my search! This is so cool, I'm glad I found this tool.
Too many notifications. Not to mention the annoying massive red error every time i search multi city
Great idea, but unfortunately does not work. I installed and uninstalled and installed again. I also tried all the tips and steps in the FAQ section of the site all to no avail. Great in theory but unfortunately didn't work for me in practice.
This is awesome! The design looks really cool and clean 🔥
helpful, clean looking tool, 5!
Elegant and very useful tool - Love it!
I LOVE Points Path!! It has good capabilities now but looking forward to what it offers in the future with multi cities or adding more airlines!
This is a really excellent tool, and the UI is so simple. The only thing holding this back from 5 stars is expansion to more airlines and internationally (and specifically, Aeroplan). Hope to see more added soon!
I really love the feature. I hope that the extension would also add alaska airlines award flight pricing too. Also I would say that a fair bit of people in the points and miles space will own a Delta credit card when booking a Delta award flight, I would love to see a feature or an edit that allows me to only see the Delta award pricing after the credit card discount.
Giving you a five though I would see it as in Beta phase. It does what it is supposed to and that is a great time savings feature. As a frequent flyer looking for "deals," I have numerous ideas. One, more accurate when people select 1 bag for Economy searches as that is what rewards tickets are tied into, and not Basic Economy. Plus when you search BE, some of these awards won't show up (AA). The big one for me though would be to figure out a way to populate the 60-day window with lowest points when someone clicks on the date to see lowest prices during the 60-day window. Lots of potential. Keep going. Love it.
I like it so far but hopefully it expands to more airlines soon. One thing to improve on: most searches on Google Flights show basic economy price but miles/points prices are for Main economy, especially with AA. Did you factor this in when you recommend "Use Cash" vs "Use Miles"?
Good.
It's cool idea but never works. When I find a flight with acceptable miles costs, it always leads me to a "Cannot process request" error on the United page when going to book. All other options available are the same price as regular United site so no real need for this extention because it isnt saving me any miles or money.
Loving this. Already has been so helpful and great to see more airline options showing up!
What a great tool! Game changer!
Wish this were around when I was traveling like I used to and before the mileage redemption went crazy. In any case it is a nice add to google flights! I like seeing the cash v. miles, but the miles are currently only showing per person even when putting in 2 or more passengers on google flights. Keep it up!
Really good starting point here. One thing I noticed is that the miles are just standard miles and if you have a premium credit card, the points to not align. For example -- Flight from Denver to Orlando has a flight for 15k, but with my United Card I get an additional 10% off. It might be good to clarify that the points is just the base value. In future versions I'd love to see an option to select which credit card specifically you have to get the absolute correct value.
I've been waiting for something like this for forever!! This is going to change the game for travel hacking and save SO MUCH time! Can't wait for this to expand!
Wow once this expands to more programs this could replace many alternative points searching tools I regularly use, and save me tons of time doing parallel points and cash searches. Instead, I could just do one search on Google Flights with this plugin! Add Aeroplan next, please!
A great extension that is intuitive and is a great alternative/addition to seats.aero
This is genius! It is a ridiculous time-saver and so efficient. Very easy to understand and lays it all out so you can easily make a choice AND make the purchase or redemption. Love it!
Within the first couple hours of having this extension I booked 3 flights with miles that saved me a ton of money. One flight was over $300 and I would have never looked at it but with this extension it showed me that it was only 7500 miles! This is a game changer!
