ATG: Award Travel Guide

Airfarewatchblog has comprehensive table of all various fees that airlines charge their customers for redeeming “free tickets” using frequent flyer miles.  This table is limited to US based carriers, so it doesn’t address the likes of British Airways whose award tickets can have hundreds and hundreds dollars in fees.  The fees for major American carriers are very similar, but it’s always good to know the rules of your main program(s).  For changes and or cancellations any change imposed by airline can used as the get out of jail free card.
