How to Book a flight - pointscasa docs

The booking page is the main PointsCasa workflow.

It takes one flight result and turns it into a practical booking path.

What the page shows

The page is split into two jobs.

Area	What it helps with
Flight details	Check route, timing, airline, cabin, layovers, and passenger count.
Booking path	See how to book, whether to transfer, and what steps to follow.

The booking summary can show different states.

Status	Meaning
Direct Booking	You appear to have enough miles in the airline program.
Ready to Book	PointsCasa found a usable path from your balances and transfers.
Almost There	You are short, but close enough that a top-up or alternate path may help.
Need More Points	Your current balances do not cover the booking.

These are guidance states, not a ticket hold.

When cash prices are available, PointsCasa compares the award against the cash fare.

You may see:

This is why there does not need to be a separate points-vs-cash worksheet. The optimizer handles it when the data is available.

Balance Mix appears when PointsCasa can build a transfer path from more than one source.

Use it when you want to change the source mix. Examples:

When you adjust one source, PointsCasa recalculates the rest of the plan.

The booking guide changes based on your situation.

It can show:

Open the collapsed instructions inside each step when you need exact guidance.

Use Save this flight when you want to come ba later.

After you complete the booking outside PointsCasa, use I’ve booked this flight so your flights area stays organized.

Always confirm the same award on the airline or loyalty program site before moving points.

Then transfer only when you are ready to finish the booking.
