Where do you fly out of?
Pick up to 3. Include any airport you would genuinely drive to — having a second option is one of the biggest levers on price.
What the Europe Flight Score tells you
Most people lose money flying to Europe in the same three places: the wrong card on the fare, points sitting in a currency that does not reach the airline they want, and booking the month everyone else books. 14 questions is enough to find out which of the three is costing you.
- Your score. One number, from how you earn, what you hold, which airports you can reach, and how you book.
- The card to put flights on. Chosen from the cards you actually carry, not a best-of list you would have to go apply for.
- Your best points play. The one transfer worth making from the balances you already have.
- And if you name a trip: whether your month is the expensive one for that destination, and which months are not.
What we ask for, and what we do not
Cards are recorded by name only, never by number, and points balances as ranges rather than exact figures. That is a deliberate limit: a precise picture of which premium cards you hold and how many points sit in each is a useful kit for social-engineering a loyalty account, and we have no product reason to hold it. The email at the last step is so we can send the plan; it also starts Club signup, which is confirmed opt-in — you are not on the list until you click the link we send.
Common questions
- What is the Europe Flight Score?
- A single number scoring how well set up you are to fly to Europe cheaply, built from how you earn points, what balances you hold, which airports you can reach, and how flexible your dates are. It comes from 14 questions and takes about two minutes. The score is recomputed on our server rather than trusted from your browser, so the number you see is the number we would stand behind.
- Is the Europe Flight Score free?
- Yes. The last step asks for your email so we can send a copy of the plan, and your result appears on screen immediately either way. That email also starts Club signup, which is confirmed opt-in — you are not on the list until you click the link we send.
- What do I actually get?
- Three things always: your score, the card among the ones you already carry that you should be putting airfare on, and the single points transfer worth making from the balances you hold. If you name a trip you also get whether the month you picked is the expensive one for that destination and which months are not.
- Do you ask for card numbers or exact points balances?
- No, and deliberately. We record which cards you hold as names only, never numbers, and balances as ranges rather than exact figures. A precise picture of which premium cards someone holds and how many points sit in each is a useful kit for social-engineering a loyalty account, and there is no product reason for us to keep it.
- How is this different from the points calculator?
- The calculator answers one question about one redemption you are already looking at — is this award worth the points. The Score looks at your whole setup and tells you what to change before you go looking, which is a different job and needs to know more about you.
Prefer to check one redemption instead? The points vs. cash calculator answers whether a specific award is worth the miles, with no questions about you at all.
