But did you know you can still book award flights on all of these airlines using Capital One miles? The trick is using the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/airlines\/airline-alliances-and-partnerships\/\" rel=\"noopener\">partners and alliances<\/a> of Capital One\u2019s 18 airline transfer partners.<\/p>\n<p>Even better, award flights can sometimes be cheaper to book through these partners than through U.S. airline mileage programs. For example, you can book domestic Delta flights for as few as 5,000 miles &#8212; or fly United between the U.S. mainland and Hawaii for just 15,000 miles each way.

Although the Air Canada partner chart lists United awards as \u201cstarting at\u201d a lower price, we\u2019ve found that in practice, economy tickets generally price out as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>10,000 points for routes under 500 miles<\/li>\n<li>12,500 points for routes between 500\u20131,500 miles<\/li>\n<li>15,000 points for routes between 1,501\u20132,750 miles<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There's plenty of potential value in the 1,501\u20132,750 mile range, which we\u2019ll highlight in the Hawaii section below. Meanwhile, short-haul United flights can be a solid option through Air Canada. For example, this Chicago (ORD) to Kansas City (MCI) flight falls under 500 miles and costs 10,000 Aeroplan points.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_216980\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-aspectratio=\"750\/190\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-216980 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/ac-7-7-1024x259.jpg\" alt=\"Aeroplan awards from ORD to MCI\" width=\"750\" height=\"190\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/ac-7-7-1024x259.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/ac-7-7-300x76.jpg 300w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/ac-7-7-768x194.jpg 768w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/ac-7-7.jpg 1248w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><center><em>Credit: Air Canada<\/em><\/enter><\/figure>\n<h4>Avianca LifeMiles<\/h4>\n<p>Fellow Star Alliance and Capital One partner Avianca LifeMiles should also be considered when booking domestic United flights.
