How To Access Chase Transfer Partners<\/span><\/h2>\n
Six Chase Ultimate Rewards cards<\/a> let you redeem points by transferring them to partners. However, only four of these cards are open to new applicants. Each charges an annual fee and is considered either a mid-tier or premium credit card. They are:<\/p>\n

An additional six no-annual-fee Chase cards also earn Ultimate Rewards \u2014 but those points can't be transferred unless you also hold one of the cards mentioned above. If you do, you can combine Chase points<\/a> (by moving them from your no-annual-fee card to your mid-tier or premium card) and gain access to the full lineup of Chase transfer partners.<\/p>\n
On average, AwardWallet users redeem Ultimate Rewards<\/a> points for 2.01\u00a2 apiece by transferring to Chase airline partners. It is also possible to book flights (and other types of travel) using Chase TravelSM<\/sup>, with these redemptions offering between 1 and 2 cents per point, depending on which Ultimate Rewards cards you hold and the specific redemption.<\/p>\n
In most situations, you'll squeeze more out of each point by taking advantage of Ultimate Rewards transfer partners.<\/p>\n

Chase Airline Partners<\/span><\/h2>\n
There are currently 10 Chase airline partners. Ultimate Rewards are transferable to any of these partners at a 1:1 ratio and most transfers are immediate.<\/p>\n
From<\/div>To<\/div>Transfer Ratio<\/div>Min.Transfer<\/div>Average Time<\/div><\/div>None available at this time<\/div><\/div>\nAer Lingus AerClub<\/span><\/h3>\n
Several airlines use the Avios currency, including Ireland\u2019s flag carrier Aer Lingus. You can use Aer Lingus Avios to book flights across the airline\u2019s network of more than 100 destinations \u2014 starting at just a few thousand Avios.<\/p>\n
Screenshot of Aer Lingus<\/em><\/enter><\/figure>\n If you want to take advantage of other Avios partner airlines, you can transfer your Avios<\/a> freely and instantly between AerClub, British Airways, Finnair, Iberia, Loganair, Qatar Airways, and Vueling. No two Avios programs are the same, so this flexibility makes it easier to find an award that suits you at the best available price.<\/p>\n
Air Canada Aeroplan<\/span><\/h3>\n
Air Canada Aeroplan<\/a> offers fantastic access to Star Alliance carriers, plus dozens of other airlines. At the time of writing, you can use Aeroplan points to book travel with over 50 airlines<\/a>!<\/p>\n
Air Canada utilizes a unique distance-and-region-based award chart. However, the program uses dynamic pricing for its own flights, along with select partners, including United, Emirates, Flydubai, Etihad Airways, Canadian North, Calm Air, Bearskin Airlines, and PAL (Provincial Airlines). With this model, expensive or high-demand flights will cost a lot of points.<\/p>\n
However, you can often find good value redeeming Aeroplan points on its other partner airlines, which have fixed pricing instead of dynamic. You can also add stopovers for 5,000 points<\/a>, which makes the value proposition even stronger.<\/p>\n
One great use of Aeroplan points is booking business-class flights to southern South America on partners with fixed award rates. Depending on dates, routing, and flight distance, you can book these awards for 50,000 to 60,000 points one way, per person.<\/p>\n
Screenshot of Air Canada<\/em><\/enter><\/figure>\n If you're keen on booking a premium-cabin award, watch out for mixed-cabin itineraries. While there's nothing wrong with booking a mixed-cabin award, just be sure you don't accidentally book a business-class award and later find out your long-haul segment is in economy while your short-haul flight is in business class.<\/p>\n
Air France\u2013KLM Flying Blue<\/span><\/h3>\n
Flying Blue is the loyalty program of Air France and KLM, plus a few smaller airlines. This program gives you extensive access to award flights on SkyTeam airlines, such as Delta and Korean Air, and several non-member airlines.<\/p>\n
One of the best ways to redeem Flying Blue miles is by taking advantage of monthly Promo Rewards<\/a>. Every month, the program discounts select awards ranging from 25% to 50%, and you can routinely find one-way economy flights to Europe for less than 20,000 miles each way.<\/p>\n
Screenshot of Air France<\/em><\/enter><\/figure>\n There are several Flying Blue sweet spots<\/a>, such as business-class seats between the U.S. and Europe starting at 60,000 miles each way.<\/p>\n
British Airways Club<\/span><\/h3>\n
The British Airways Club<\/a> also uses Avios as its award currency. When you transfer Ultimate Rewards to British Airways, you can book travel with Oneworld alliance<\/a> members and nonalliance members, including Aer Lingus, China Southern, LATAM Airlines, Loganair, Sun-Air, and Vueling.<\/p>\n
British Airways no longer publishes a traditional award chart, but awards are generally priced by distance for both BA-operated and partner airline flights. Aer Lingus, Iberia, and BA-operated flights also have peak and off-peak rates.<\/p>\n
As a general rule, most Avios redemptions are priced per segment, meaning the required number of Avios increases with each connection \u2014 so it\u2019s best to focus on nonstop flights when possible.<\/p>\n
While pricing is distance-based, not all partners are treated equally. For example, Cathay Pacific, Japan Airlines, and flights within North America on American Airlines and Alaska Airlines often cost more than other partner redemptions.<\/p>\n
With Avios, the best values will come from short-haul, nonstop flights \u2014 especially in economy class. You can use this to your benefit when cash fares are expensive, such as for last-minute flights or travel during major holiday periods. For example, just two days before Christmas, you can fly from Sydney to Melbourne in Qantas economy for 6,500 Avios.<\/p>\n
Screenshot of British Airways<\/em><\/enter><\/figure>\n Flights from the United Kingdom often have steep taxes and surcharges. You can minimize those costs using BA's Reward Flight Saver<\/a> feature on eligible flights. With this feature, you can reduce the carrier-imposed surcharges you pay by increasing the number of Avios you redeem. If you're “points rich” and “cash poor,” this can be a great way to reduce your out-of-pocket costs.<\/p>\n
For example, on a peak summer date between London Heathrow and Brussels, you can pay as little as $2 in taxes and fees, depending on how many Avios you redeem.<\/p>\n
Screenshot of British Airways<\/em><\/enter><\/figure>\n Related:<\/strong> The Best Ways to Avoid Paying High Fuel Surcharges When Booking Flights With Avios<\/a><\/p>\n
Iberia Club<\/span><\/h3>\n
Iberia also participates in the Avios program, but redemption possibilities are a bit different from those of British Airways or Aer Lingus.<\/p>\n
Like the other Avios programs, Iberia uses a distance-based award chart, meaning longer flights require more Avios. However, Iberia calculates pricing based on the total distance of your itinerary rather than pricing each segment separately. This often makes Iberia a better option for itineraries with connections.<\/p>\n
In 2025, Iberia devalued its sweet spot<\/a> for off-peak flights between several East Coast cities and Madrid. These awards now cost 40,500 Avios each way in business class, up from an extraordinary 34,000. Even with this increase, the pricing remains competitive, as many programs charge significantly more for similar routes \u2014 especially in business class.<\/p>\n
Iberia business class. Credit: Iberia<\/em><\/enter><\/figure>\n A major drawback of the Iberia Club program is that all partner award flights are nonrefundable<\/strong>. So, be aware of this restriction before you book a partner flight.<\/p>\n
JetBlue TrueBlue<\/span><\/h3>\n
Unlike many airline loyalty programs that use region- or distance-based award charts, JetBlue TrueBlue uses dynamic pricing<\/a> tied directly to the cash cost of a flight.<\/p>\n
Although dynamic pricing eliminates the potential for outsized value from your points, JetBlue TrueBlue<\/a> compensates by making the booking process completely painless. With TrueBlue points, there are no blackout dates, so you can always use your points as long as there is a seat for sale.<\/p>\n
For example, a one-way, nonstop economy flight from San Francisco to New York (JFK) may cost $168 for a standard Blue fare (not Blue Basic<\/a>).<\/p>\n
Screenshot of JetBlue<\/em><\/enter><\/figure>\n Toggling over to points, we see that an award costs 11,400 TrueBlue points plus $5.60. This award offers better value than most, at just over 1.4 cents per TrueBlue point.<\/p>\n
Screenshot of JetBlue<\/em><\/enter><\/figure>\n AwardWallet users<\/a> get an average of 1.24\u00a2 per JetBlue point. Actual values vary from one flight to the next but within the range of 1 to 2 cents per point. For this reason, it's especially important to compare prices against the Chase Travel portal before transferring from Ultimate Rewards to JetBlue. You might redeem fewer points by booking directly with Chase.<\/p>\n
Note that Chase has offered a transfer bonus to JetBlue<\/a> in the past, but these transfer bonuses are very rare.<\/p>\n
Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer<\/span><\/h3>\n
Singapore Airlines is part of Star Alliance, and you can redeem KrisFlyer miles on Singapore-operated flights and the 24 other member airlines. In addition, you can use KrisFlyer miles to fly with non-alliance airlines like Garuda Indonesia, Juneyao Airlines, Malaysia Airlines, and Virgin Australia.<\/p>\n
Here are a few ideas for getting great value out of the Singapore KrisFlyer program:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Book Spontaneous Escapes awards<\/a> for discounted flights worldwide \u2014 such as 59,150 miles in premium economy from New York to Singapore<\/li>\n
- Fly United Airlines from the U.S. to Hawaii in economy for 20,500 Singapore miles<\/li>\n
- Fly any Star Alliance member airline from the U.S. to Europe for 32,500 miles in economy (watch out for fuel surcharges with some carriers)<\/li>\n
- Book Avianca flights within South America<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
We've rounded up a few other great deals in our post on Singapore KrisFlyer sweet spots<\/a>.<\/p>\n
Screenshot of Singapore Airlines<\/em><\/enter><\/figure>\n Like Virgin Atlantic, Cathay Pacific, and Aeroplan, the KrisFlyer program passes on fuel surcharges to consumers. Your out-of-pocket cost can vary dramatically from $5.60 to $500 or more, depending on the airlines operating your flights. If the cash component of a Singapore award ticket is too high, United MileagePlus miles will likely be a better option among the Chase transfer partners.<\/p>\n
Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards<\/span><\/h3>\n
Of all the Ultimate Rewards transfer partners, Southwest Rapid Rewards<\/a>\u00a0is one of the easiest to use. Instead of using a fixed award chart or distance-based pricing, the number of points required is tied to the cash price of the flight \u2014 similar to JetBlue.<\/p>\n
With Rapid Rewards, there are no blackout dates, so you can use your points as long as there is a seat for sale. In AwardWallet testing, we found redemption rates varied between 1.15 and 1.72 cents per point. However, most redemptions are on the lower end of that range. Since Southwest has variable award pricing<\/a>, you'll typically pay more points per dollar during peak times and possibly less during off-peak times.<\/p>\n
Credit: JT Genter\/AwardWallet<\/em><\/enter><\/figure>\n If you have the Sapphire Reserve<\/a> or Sapphire Reserve Business<\/a>, you can also redeem Ultimate Rewards through the Chase Travel\u2120 portal. The redemption rate depends on the specific redemption but might be a better value than transferring to Southwest, given that you'll also earn points on the ticket.<\/p>\n
When you fly on bookings made through Chase Travel, they are treated like cash tickets by the airline \u2014 even though you paid with points. In the past, you had to call to make these bookings, but now you can book Southwest flights online through the Chase Travel portal<\/a>.<\/p>\n
