Chrome extension to calculate Avios and value

[Olly]

@SmartWithPoints agree with lastminute’s post about having the best value Avios option rather than the one with the lowest taxes as a default. Another request I’d have is to support one way flights from outside the UK (at least from EU), at present it seems to only support return or outbound from the UK. I presume that’s because you’d have to scrape the currency conversion from somewhere to do the calcs but given that Google flights doesn’t support return flights from different London airports, it’s necessary to be able to compare both legs

Thanks for this Olly. I agree it would be great to have the all the tax options available. At present this data is really hard to get hold of, however if I can get hold of it I will add it.

Right now all British Airways flights are supported whether they are to, from or via the UK. The oneworld flights from Finnair, Qatar Airways, Malaysia Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Iberia, Aer Lingus and Japan Airlines are supported all over the world. Hope this helps!
