How much are EVA Air miles worth?

A mile is worth what its redemption saves you: divide the cash fare by the miles the award needs. Above 1.8¢ per mile — what Infinity MileageLands miles cost to buy here — the miles beat the fare. Price your amount live, and the verdict on your real fare lives on the Infinity MileageLands page.

How many Infinity MileageLands miles do you actually need?

Put in what the award costs and what your account already holds. This prices the difference, whether that's a small top-up or the whole award from an empty balance, and it says so when the amount lands under Infinity MileageLands's smallest order.

How the math works

Cost = miles × rate

Infinity MileageLands at 1.8¢ per mile means every 1,000 miles costs $18. A 70,000-mile award is 70 × $18 = $1,260. No fees are added on top of the quoted rate.

When buying makes sense

Divide the cash fare by the miles the award needs: that's what the seat values a mile at. If it's comfortably above 1.8¢, buying wins; if it's below, pay cash. The Infinity MileageLands page's comparison tool runs that verdict on your real numbers.

Why the quote is the real number

Rates move with sourcing. The figure here prices your estimate; the quote confirms your exact rate and delivery window before anything is paid, and that confirmed number is the one that binds.

A worked example. Take Infinity MileageLands's Royal Laurel business, Taipei to the US West Coast at 75,000 miles, and say the cash fare you found is $4,500. That fare values each mile at 6.0¢ ($4,500 ÷ 75,000), and buying them at 1.8¢ costs $1,350. Miles win by $3,150. When the division lands below 1.8¢, cash wins.

Where the break-even sits

Every award has one deciding number: what its miles cost to buy. Fare above it, buying wins. Fare below it, pay cash.

When Infinity MileageLands miles are worth buying

Premium cabin, long-haul?

Business and first class fares clear the break-even by the widest margins. This is where buying miles most often wins.

Fare above the break-even?

Divide the fare by the miles the award needs. Above 1.8¢ per mile, buying wins, and the further above, the bigger the saving.

Short hop in economy?

Cheap cash fares rarely clear the break-even. Pay cash, and save the miles math for the long-haul trips.

The Infinity MileageLands math, answered

Is there a single fixed value for a Infinity MileageLands mile?
There is no fixed value. A mile is worth what its redemption saves you: divide the cash fare by the miles the award needs. Above 1.8¢ per mile the miles are worth more than they cost to buy, and long-haul premium-cabin awards usually clear that bar by the widest margin.
Should I buy EVA Air miles or pay cash?
Compare the cash fare with the break-even: the price of the miles the award needs. At 1.8¢ per mile, a 70,000-mile award breaks even at $1,260. If the fare is higher, buying wins; if it is lower, pay cash. The comparison tool on the Infinity MileageLands page runs that verdict on your real numbers.
Does this calculator include award taxes and fees?
No. Airlines bill taxes and any carrier surcharges separately when you book the award, and those vary by route. The calculator and your quote price the miles only.
Can it tell me how many miles a flight will earn?
No. Earning depends on EVA Air's own rules and lives in the airline's tools. This page prices topping up an account that is short of an award.
What else are Infinity MileageLands miles called?
Infinity MileageLands is EVA Air's frequent flyer program, and you'll also see its miles called EVA mileage or EVA Air points. It's one currency whatever the name: buy or purchase Infinity MileageLands miles under any of them and it's the same order here, added to your account at the same rate.
Is there a minimum or maximum order?
Orders run from 50,000 to 500,000 miles per transfer. If you need something outside that range, say so on the quote request and we'll confirm whether we can do it.
