What it does
Award Sweet Spots is an agent skill from borski/travel-hacking-toolkit. Catalog of high-value award redemptions where points dramatically outvalue cash. Tiered by legendary/excellent/good with current rates, devaluation history, and booking caveats. Includes Oceania and South Pacific plays (Australia, New Zealand, Tahiti, Fiji) and transatlantic business-class sweet spots.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: AI-powered travel hacking and search with cash, points, miles, and award flights. Drop-in skills and MCP servers for Claude, Codex, and OpenCode. The licence is MIT.
Example prompts
- “/award-sweet-spots”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Flag it prominently in the output. "This is the legendary Iberia Avios to Madrid sweet spot."
- Show the current rate vs cash value.
- Note any caveats (surcharges, booking-window restrictions, devaluations).
- Compare against the next-best option to make the value concrete.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit db82131. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Award Sweet Spots loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 80 tokens; SKILL.md has 589 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Award Sweet Spots
Reference data: data/sweet-spots.json
When making recommendations, cross-reference against known sweet spots. If a route matches a sweet spot, flag it prominently.
Tier System
Sweet spots are ranked by tier:
- Legendary: Outsized value that travel hackers build entire trips around
- Examples: ANA First via Virgin Atlantic, Hyatt All-Inclusive via World of Hyatt
- Excellent: Consistently great value, reliable availability
- Examples: Iberia Avios to Madrid, Qatar Qsuites via various programs, Virgin Atlantic economy to London
- Good: Solid value but may have caveats like devaluations, limited availability, or surcharges
Devaluations Matter
Always check the devaluation_date field in data/sweet-spots.json. If a sweet spot was recently devalued, mention the old vs new rates so users understand the change. A "legendary" tier sweet spot from 2023 may only be "good" or even "poor" today.
How to Use This Reference
When a user's search returns options that match a known sweet spot:
- Flag it prominently in the output. "This is the legendary Iberia Avios to Madrid sweet spot."
- Show the current rate vs cash value.
- Note any caveats (surcharges, booking-window restrictions, devaluations).
- Compare against the next-best option to make the value concrete.
Oceania / South Pacific Sweet Spots
Getting to Australia, New Zealand, and the South Pacific on points is hard — demand is high, distances are long, and premium cabin space is scarce. Proven plays, ranked:
- Air New Zealand business via Virgin Atlantic (Excellent) — 62.5K one-way from the US, 45K from Hawaii. The same flights United sells for 110K. Availability is the bottleneck: rare in advance, opens inside 30 days. Phone booking only. Reachable from Amex, Chase, Citi, Bilt, Wells Fargo, and Capital One (via Virgin Red).
- ANA Mileage Club business to Oceania (Excellent) — roughly 68.5K+ one-way on ANA metal (seasonal, under the June 2025 chart; one-ways now bookable) with wide routing via Japan or direct on Air NZ. No fuel surcharges on United, Air Canada, or Air NZ. Limitation: reachable only from Amex MR (plus Marriott at a poor ratio). Verify current rates on ana.co.jp — avoid its still-hosted pre-June-2025 legacy chart pages.
- Aeroplan business to Oceania (Good) — 75-115K one-way, but the killer feature is adding an Asia stopover for +5K miles, turning Australia into Asia + Australia. No fuel surcharges. Reachable from Amex, Chase, Capital One, Bilt.
- Air France LAX-Tahiti nonstop (Good) — ~30K economy one-way on one of the few US-Tahiti nonstops. Business (~113K) is usually poor value; economy is the play. Watch for Flying Blue transfer bonuses.
- Atmos/Alaska to the South Pacific (Good) — HNL-Kiritimati on Fiji Airways in the lowest distance band is a perennial steal, and HNL-Tahiti/Rarotonga on Hawaiian is cheap. Free stopover, no change/cancel fees. Reachable only from Bilt (plus Marriott).
- United MileagePlus business (Good) — 85-100K on United metal, ~110K on partners. The most lenient routing rules, but partner space is almost always cheaper via Virgin Atlantic (62.5K) or ANA.

Oceania-specific warnings:
- Availability is the real constraint — points prices matter less if there are no seats. Search early and often for premium cabins.
- Peak season is Dec-Feb (Southern Hemisphere summer); award space is hardest then.
- Air NZ via Virgin Atlantic is the best value but hardest to find — realistic only inside ~30 days.
- Surcharge traps: BA Avios on Qantas metal carries heavy surcharges. Stick to each entry's no-surcharge carriers.
Booking Windows
data/sweet-spots.json also has a booking_windows section. When a user asks about flights far in advance, check when award space opens for that airline. Some programs (Aeroplan) release space 358 days out. Others release 11 months. Knowing the window prevents wasted searches.
