Southwest, JetBlue Lead Average Reward Price Rankings Among Five Major US Frequent Flyer Programs
2017 CarTrawler Reward Seat Availability Survey also finds that Delta SkyMiles reward prices are 19% lower than in 2013.  Low-cost carriers Southwest and JetBlue continue to offer US flyers the lowest average reward seat pricing, despite an industry shift to dollar-based rather than mileage-based loyalty points accrual. The annual rankings for the two airlines remain unchanged since 2013 when average reward seat pricing was first calculated.
