Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book your award flights for travel to Europe from the East Coast (e.g., New York to London) in mid-January to early February, as this is typically when airlines release more availability and lower demand leads to better options.
Sweet Spot
You can fly round-trip from the U.S. to Japan in business class for 75,000 Aeroplan miles, which typically costs around $3,000 in cash, offering excellent value.
Routing Trick
Book a round-trip from New York (JFK) to Tokyo (NRT) with a stopover in Vancouver (YVR) to save approximately 5,000 miles compared to booking a direct round-trip from JFK to NRT, as the routing allows for a multi-city award ticket while adhering to Air Canada's stopover rules.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines for routes to Las Vegas, as they often charge up to $75 for carry-on bags and $50 for checked luggage, significantly increasing your total travel cost.
