Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book award flights to Europe from the U.S. during the low season from mid-January to early March, as availability tends to be higher and fewer travelers compete for seats, particularly on routes like New York (JFK) to Frankfurt (FRA).
Sweet Spot
You can fly from New York (JFK) to Tokyo (NRT) for 60,000 Aeroplan miles in business class, which typically costs around $4,500 in cash.
Routing Trick
Book a round-trip flight from New York City (JFK) to Tokyo (NRT) via Vancouver (YVR) instead of a direct flight, saving approximately 10,000 miles in the process due to the lower mileage requirement for the multi-city routing.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines on domestic routes, as they charge up to $65 for carry-on bags and $45 for checked luggage, significantly increasing your overall travel costs.
