Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book award flights for travel to Europe from North America during mid-January to early March, as this is typically when availability opens up and competition is lower, especially on routes like Toronto to London.
Sweet Spot
You can fly round-trip from the U.S. to Europe in business class for 250,000 Aeroplan miles, which typically costs around $4,000 in cash.
Routing Trick
Book a round-trip award ticket from New York (JFK) to Tokyo (NRT) via Vancouver (YVR) instead of directly to Tokyo, as this can save you approximately 10,000 miles compared to a direct routing at 75,000 miles by utilizing the stopover option in Canada.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines on routes such as Las Vegas to Los Angeles, where you could face up to $65 in carry-on bag fees and $50 for checked bags, significantly inflating your travel costs.
