Is there some convenient online resource that could tell me how much mileage a given flight ticket will earn, for a given loyalty program? E.g., input = (flight number=UA 2630, fare class=K, fare=100 USD, loyalty program=MileagePlus), output = 500 miles earned for the MileagePlus program. It's tedious to have do the math oneself, so I wonder if there exist some time-efficient online calculator. I understand the input may have more parameters.

I found:

but I would prefer a more fully automated system.

    I very much doubt this exists. It's hard enough to find this information for one airline, never mind all of them. – lambshaanxy Feb 26 '23 at 03:57

    For your example is all depends on the $$ you paid for the ticket and your status. $$ is related to fare class, but it's not the same. Distance only enters the equation if you are flying on a non-United ticket. Detailed rules are https://www.united.com/ual/en/us/fly/mileageplus/earn-miles/united.html . I doubt that any one would voluntarily code this up. – Hilmar Feb 26 '23 at 10:08

    Southwest tells you upfront as you pick flights (and fare group) on their website. – Jon Custer Feb 26 '23 at 15:14

    Many airlines now tell you when you book (most probably when they give you the choice between multiple fares and show a comparison table), though of course this is far from universal, and usually applies only if you use the airline’s own program. – jcaron Feb 26 '23 at 21:29

  • The 2nd of these is using calculations that haven't been correct for close to 10 years. The 1st link doesn't work so I can't comment on that one... – Doc Mar 28 '23 at 18:11
