Check partners
If you want to book a last-minute domestic award flight, you can check with some of its partner airlines for availability. Partners may offer lower rates, plus, your credit card points may transfer to a partner, opening up more flexibility than with a single airline.
To be clear, this method is not a guarantee, but it could help.
Some airlines to consider:
-
Air Canada Aeroplan: An option if you want to fly a United flight.
-
British Airways Executive Club: Worth checking if you want to fly American Airlines or Alaska Airlines.
Delta is a partner with Virgin Atlantic and Flying Blue, but domestic Delta flights are rarely available on these partners.
