# What is Award chart?

An award chart is a published price list stating how many miles an award flight costs in a given region and cabin, independent of the cash price of that flight.

Also called: Award table, Fixed award chart.

## How it works #

An award chart sorts routes into zones and gives each zone a fixed mileage price per cabin. Anyone who knows the chart can work out the cost of a redemption in advance and compare programmes against each other. Chart-based programmes are predictable, but not permanent: the chart can be replaced at any time, and replacing it is the most common form a devaluation takes.

## Not to be confused with #

An award chart is not to be confused with dynamic award pricing: a chart states a fixed mileage price, while dynamic pricing ties the mileage number to the current cash fare and moves daily.

## In German #

The German term is Prämientabelle. [German version of this term](/de/glossar/praemientabelle)
