Trip Insights

Overview

The Insights tab on any trip gives you AI-generated analysis of your booking. MileIntel looks at your route, fare class, loyalty balances, and credit card portfolio to tell you whether you got a good deal — and whether there's a smarter way to pay for or upgrade the trip.

What Insights Cover

Redemption analysis — Should you have booked this with miles instead of cash? MileIntel calculates the cents-per-point value if you'd redeemed from your balances and tells you whether it would've been a better deal.Value assessment — How does your fare compare to the route average? MileIntel benchmarks your ticket price against historical data for the same route, cabin, and booking window.Upgrade suggestions — Based on your elite status, upgrade instruments (certificates, miles), and historical upgrade rates on this route, MileIntel tells you the likelihood of scoring an upgrade and the best strategy to try.Card optimization — Which credit card should you have used to book? MileIntel cross-references your card portfolio with airline transfer partners and bonus categories to flag missed earning opportunities.

How Insights Are Generated

Insights run automatically when you add a flight to a booked trip. They refresh if your loyalty balances change or if pricing data updates. The analysis uses MileIntel's AI agents, which consume token budget from your plan.

Key Details

• Insights require the Navigator plan ($12/mo) or above
• Traveler (free) plan users see a preview with a prompt to upgrade
• Insights are generated per-trip, not per-flight — multi-leg trips get a combined analysis
• Token cost for insights is typically $0.01-0.03 per analysis

Tips

1. Check insights right after booking. If the AI finds a significantly better redemption option, you may still be within the 24-hour free cancellation window.
2. Re-check insights a few days before departure — upgrade availability and pricing can shift.
