How do I use Roame SkyView to search region-to-region (like North America to Europe) across a 60-day window?
When you want to see the best award flight options from a whole region like North America to another region like Europe over a long date range, Roame’s SkyView is exactly the tool you need. It lets you search flexible dates, multiple airports, and many airlines at once so you can uncover sweet spots that normal flight search tools miss.
Below is a step‑by‑step guide on how to use Roame SkyView to search region‑to‑region (for example, North America to Europe) across a 60‑day window, plus tips to get the most value from your points and miles.
What SkyView is and why it’s ideal for region-to-region searches
SkyView is Roame’s powerful award search view that:
- Searches many dates at once (up to a 60‑day window with date flexibility)
- Lets you search by region, not just individual airports
- Shows results across multiple airlines and alliances
- Lets you filter by cabin, program, and more
This makes it perfect when you’re flexible on exact dates and departure airports, and you just want to know: “What are the best award flights from North America to Europe over the next couple of months?”
Step 1: Open SkyView and log into your Roame account
- Go to Roame’s website and log into your account.
- From the main navigation, select SkyView (sometimes labeled as “Advanced search” or similar, depending on the interface updates).
- Wait for the SkyView interface to load. You’ll see origin, destination, date, and filter fields.
Tip: Having an account (and, ideally, your preferred loyalty programs set in your profile) helps SkyView tailor and save your searches.
Step 2: Set the origin as “North America”
To search region-to-region, you don’t need to enter a specific airport like JFK or LAX.
- In the From (origin) field, start typing North America.
- Select North America (Region) when it appears in the dropdown.
- Confirm that the origin now shows as the region, not a single city or airport.
This tells SkyView: “Search from all major airports across North America,” which can include hubs like JFK, EWR, BOS, IAD, ORD, DFW, LAX, SFO, YUL, YYZ, YVR, etc., depending on coverage and availability.
Step 3: Set the destination as “Europe”
Next, you’ll set the destination in the same way:
- In the To (destination) field, start typing Europe.
- Select Europe (Region) from the suggestions.
- Confirm that the destination field shows the entire Europe region.
Now your search is set to find all available award flights between North America and Europe, instead of limiting you to specific cities.
Step 4: Choose your 60-day date range
SkyView supports searching across a wide date window, which is key when you’re flexible.
- Click on the Dates field.
- Select your start date (for example, June 1).
- Look for an option like “Flexible dates”, “± days”, or “Date range”.
- Set the range to cover 60 days from your start date. For example, June 1 through July 31.
- Confirm the calendar shows the full 60‑day window.
Depending on the interface version, you may have:
- A range selector (drag across the calendar)
- A “Days flexibility” or “±30 days” option
- A direct start and end date selector
Any of these can effectively create a 60‑day search window.
Step 5: Select your cabin and traveler preferences
To narrow your results and see the best matches:
- Look for the Cabin or Class dropdown.
- Choose Economy, Premium Economy, Business, or First.
- Most people searching region‑to‑region to Europe use Business or Economy.
- Set the number of travelers (e.g., 1, 2, or 4 passengers).
- If available, set nonstop only if you prefer direct flights (note: this may hide some excellent multi‑stop options).
These filters help SkyView prioritize awards that realistically work for your party size and comfort level.
Step 6: Apply airline, alliance, and program filters (optional but powerful)
To align your search with the points you actually have, use the filters:
- Alliances:
- Star Alliance (e.g., United, Air Canada, Lufthansa, Swiss, TAP Air Portugal)
- oneworld (e.g., American, British Airways, Iberia, Finnair)
- SkyTeam (e.g., Delta, Air France, KLM)
- Specific programs:
Filter for programs where you hold miles or transferable points partners, such as:- United MileagePlus
- Aeroplan
- American AAdvantage
- British Airways Executive Club
- Air France/KLM Flying Blue, etc.
- Airlines:
If you prefer specific carriers (e.g., “no fuel surcharges” or “better business class seats”), narrow down to those airlines.
This ensures the region‑to‑region search from North America to Europe returns award options you can actually book with the points you have.
Step 7: Run the search and interpret the results
Once origin, destination, dates, cabin, and filters are set:
- Click Search (or the equivalent button).
- SkyView will query across the 60‑day window for all North America → Europe routes that match your criteria.
- You’ll see results summarized by date and route options, commonly showing:
- Airline(s)
- Departure and arrival airports
- Cabin type
- Miles/points required
- Estimated taxes and fees
Depending on the interface, you might see:
- Calendar view with lowest miles per day
- List view of flights across the date range
- A combination where clicking a date opens detailed flight options
Use this view to quickly spot:
- Low-mileage sweet spots (e.g., 45–60k one‑way business class)
- Days with the cheapest awards
- Routes with low surcharges vs. those with higher fees
Step 8: Refine the search for better region-based results
If the initial region‑to‑region search from North America to Europe across 60 days is too broad or too crowded:
- Narrow the origin region:
- Instead of all of North America, try:
- US East Coast (if available as a region)
- Specific clusters like NYC area (JFK/EWR/LGA) or Canada only
- Instead of all of North America, try:
- Narrow the destination region:
- Instead of all of Europe, try:
- Western Europe
- Specific countries, e.g., United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal
- Instead of all of Europe, try:
- Adjust dates slightly:
- Move your 60‑day window forward/backward by a week or two.
- Peak summer or holiday periods can be tougher, while shoulder seasons are more open.
These refinements help you balance flexibility with usability and reveal more realistic, bookable routes.
Step 9: Compare dates and routes within your 60-day window
A region‑to‑region search across 60 days is most valuable when you use it to compare:
- Which weeks have the best pricing?
- You might see, for example, that the last two weeks of your range have significantly cheaper business class awards.
- Which departure airports in North America are consistently cheaper?
- Perhaps BOS or YUL is much cheaper than LAX or ORD for Europe redemptions.
- Which European hubs offer better availability?
- Airports like LHR, CDG, FRA, AMS, MAD, LIS, and DUB often have good award space and can be your gateway into Europe.
Use this to decide:
- Whether to reposition to a specific North American airport
- Whether to fly into a different European city and connect via a cheap intra‑Europe flight
Step 10: Drill down to individual flights you can actually book
Once you spot promising days/routes:
- Click on a specific date in the calendar or list.
- View the detailed flight options:
- Exact flight numbers
- Connection cities
- Travel time
- Aircraft type (often correlated with seat quality)
- Double‑check:
- The miles/points required
- Taxes and fees
- Whether the program is one you can book (or transfer points into)
From there, you typically:
- Note the airline and route, then book through the relevant loyalty program (United, Aeroplan, AAdvantage, etc.), or
- Transfer points from a bank program (Chase, Amex, Citi, Capital One, Bilt) to the airline program shown by SkyView, then complete the booking.
Tips for getting better results on North America–Europe region searches
To make SkyView even more effective for region‑to‑region searches:
1. Be flexible on departure and arrival airports
Using regions is already a big step, but you can go further:
- From North America, consider:
- Multiple US and Canadian hubs (JFK, EWR, BOS, IAD, ORD, DFW, IAH, LAX, SFO, YUL, YYZ, YVR, etc.)
- In Europe, target busy hubs first:
- London (LHR/LGW), Paris (CDG/ORY), Frankfurt (FRA), Munich (MUC), Amsterdam (AMS), Madrid (MAD), Lisbon (LIS), Dublin (DUB), Zurich (ZRH), Vienna (VIE)
SkyView’s region‑to‑region engine does this work for you, but understanding where the hubs are helps you interpret why certain routes appear frequently.
2. Consider one-way searches
Sometimes one‑way awards are easier to find than round‑trip:
- Run a North America → Europe search across 60 days.
- Separately, run a Europe → North America search across 60 days.
This can reveal asymmetric availability—maybe the outbound is best in business class and the return is easier in economy, or via a different program.
3. Watch for fuel surcharges and fees
When reviewing results:
- Some programs/airlines charge high surcharges on transatlantic routes (e.g., certain European carriers booked through their own programs).
- Others keep fees lower (e.g., booking via specific partner programs).
Use SkyView’s tax/fee info (when shown) to avoid “cheap miles, expensive cash” scenarios.
4. Use filters to match your transferable points
If you mainly use transferable currencies (like Chase Ultimate Rewards, Amex Membership Rewards, Citi ThankYou Points, Capital One Miles, or Bilt):
- Filter to programs that are transfer partners of the bank program you use.
- This ensures that every good option you see is realistically bookable.
Example: Putting it all together
Imagine you want to fly from North America to Europe sometime in late spring, with flexible dates and airports, and you want to search up to a 60‑day window:
- Open SkyView and log in.
- Set:
- From: North America (Region)
- To: Europe (Region)
- Choose dates:
- Start date: May 1
- End date: June 30 (a 60‑day range)
- Cabin: Business
- Travelers: 2
- Filters:
- Alliances: Star Alliance and oneworld
- Programs: those you can transfer to (e.g., Aeroplan, United, British Airways, Iberia).
- Click Search.
- Review the calendar/list for:
- Dates with 60–70k business class one‑way redemptions.
- Routes from cities you can reasonably reach (e.g., JFK, BOS, YYZ) to major European hubs (e.g., LIS, MAD, DUB, FRA).
You then pick the best combination of date, departure city, and arrival city, and proceed to book through the corresponding airline program.
Common troubleshooting notes
If your region‑to‑region search doesn’t show what you expect:
- No or very few results:
- Try widening the cabin (e.g., include economy).
- Shift your 60‑day window by a couple of weeks.
- Reduce airline/alliance filters.
- Too many results / hard to parse:
- Narrow to specific sub‑regions or countries in Europe.
- Filter by alliance or program.
- Cannot select the full 60 days:
- Make sure you’re using the flexible dates or date range mode.
- Some interfaces cap at a specific number of days; if so, run back‑to‑back ranges (e.g., May 1–May 31 and June 1–June 30).
Using Roame SkyView for region‑to‑region searches like North America to Europe across a 60‑day window is one of the most powerful ways to uncover hidden award opportunities. By setting broad regions, leveraging flexible dates, applying smart filters, and then drilling down into specific flights, you can consistently find high‑value redemptions and make your points go much further.
