Points Path: Your Ultimate Frequent Flyer Sidekick for Award Travel to Save Money

Hey there, savvy travelers! Ready to take your points game to the next level? Buckle up because Points Path is here to make your mileage dreams come true, and it's as easy as installing an extension on your desktop browser.

"As the regular cash results appear, Points Path will begin retrieving the award prices of the same flights. You’ll see spinners appear next to the cash prices as Points Path works. -PP"

Now, before you go all "Safari, where you at?"—don't worry, it's in the pipeline. But for now, Points Path is the BFF of Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge users.

So, what's the deal with Points Path? Well, it's like having a secret agent working for you in the world of frequent flyer programs. American, Delta, United—those are the kids hanging out with you right now. You search for flights on Google Flights, and Points Path goes all ninja, fetching point or mile prices instead of the usual cash.

"The prices in points and miles will replace the spinners as the data arrives, along with an arrow showing whether it’s a better deal to “Use Miles” or “Use Cash” on each flight. After 5-10 seconds, you’ll have award pricing for every supported program. And if a seat on that flight isn’t available with points or miles, you’ll see a message indicating that too. -PP"

But wait, there's more! Points Path's algorithm is like a wizard crunching numbers on thousands of flights daily. It's got the median values for each program – 1.1 cents per mile for Delta, 1.25 cents for United, and 1.3 cents for American. And these values? They're like the DJ at a party—constantly changing, but always keeping it real.

Now, you might be thinking, "Is this gonna cost me my coffee budget?" Fear not! The basic Points Path search extension is the friend that never asks for a dime. Sure, in the future, there might be a tiny fee for extra fancy features, but the basics? Forever free.

"If you find a flight that you’d like to book using points or miles, you can also use Points Path to take you right to that flight on the airline’s website. Simply click on the flight you want in order to open the standard Google Flights booking page, where you’ll also see a booking link provided by Points Path in points or miles." -PP

But wait, there's more (again)! Points Path loves Google Flights, but it's picky. It wants the dot-com version at flights.google.com and the language set to "English (United States)." Points Path speaks dollars, so make sure your currency game is on point.

And guess what? Points Path is a team player. It can coexist with other extensions like Legrooms. Yeah, it might look a bit crowded, but hey, more info, more power, right?

"Click on the related “Continue” button to go to the Points Path website, which will have all the details of your flight assembled and ready to go, along with options for acquiring additional points or miles if you don’t already have enough." - PP

Now, if you're a rebel using browsers beyond Chrome and Edge, Points Path says, "I might work, I might not. Good luck!" And Safari users, hang tight – it's coming soon.

Concerned about safety? Don't be. Points Path goes through Google's security boot camp before hitting the Web Store. It's like having a bodyguard for your browser.

But what if your browser throws a fit with new permissions? No worries. Points Path keeps things on a need-to-know basis. Your browser will give you the lowdown before any changes.
