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.

But it can still come in handy on domestic trips.<\/p>\n<p>JAL charges the following rates for partner awards:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1-1,000 miles: 12,000 JAL Mileage Bank miles<\/li>\n<li>1,001-2,000 miles: 15,000 JAL Mileage Bank miles<\/li>\n<li>2,001-4,000 miles: 23,000 JAL Mileage Bank miles<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>At first blush, these aren't compelling rates &#8212; and it gets worse when you factor in the 4:3 transfer ratio from Capital One miles to JAL Mileage Bank.<\/p>\n<p>But here's where it gets interesting: these same award rates apply to the <strong>combined mileage of round-trip awards booked together<\/strong>. That means a trip spanning under 2,000 miles round-trip costs 15,000 Mileage Bank miles (20,000 Capital One miles) total.<\/p>\n<p>For example, Washington, DC (DCA) to Miami (MIA) is approximately 1,844 miles round-trip, so you'll pay just 15,000 JAL miles round-trip.

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.

least 2X Capital One miles on every purchase. Capital One miles are worth a minimum of 1 cent each when redeemed toward travel purchases, giving you a baseline return of 2% back on everything you buy. But as we've covered, you can get even more value by using transfer partners strategically.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/credit-cards\/best-everyday-credit-card\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Best Credit Cards for Everyday Purchases<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Bottom_Line\">Bottom Line<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Even though JetBlue is the only U.S.-based airline among Capital One\u2019s 18 airline partners, you can still use Capital One miles to book award flights on American, Alaska, Delta, and United by transferring your miles to the right partner programs.<\/p>\n<p>The potential value and flexibility are two of the main reasons Capital One miles are worth earning in the first place.
