| Transfer partner | Points needed | Cash price | Value/pt |
|---|---|---|---|
| Avios (British Airways) | 9,000 | $320 | $0.036 |
| KrisFlyer (Singapore) | 15,000 | $540 | $0.036 |
| Flying Blue (Air France/KLM) | 17,500 | $480 | $0.027 |
Verdict
Avios wins for short-haul distance-based awards — the exact routes a Miami-based family flies most. KrisFlyer matches on value but shines on long-haul premium cabins. Flying Blue is the household's release-valve partner: no fuel surcharges to the US and the most forgiving award calendar of the three.
