Short answer

Airline miles can vary significantly in value

The value of RevPoints transferred to airline miles depends on the flight you book. A business-class flight can provide a different value per mile than a short economy flight.

Where possible, FairPoints compares the normal ticket price with the award-booking price, including taxes and fees that you still need to pay.
