Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book award flights for popular summer routes, such as New York (JFK) to London (LHR), between mid-January and early February to secure the best availability for travel in July and August.
Sweet Spot
You can fly from Toronto to Tokyo for 90,000 Aeroplan miles in business class, which typically costs around $5,000 in cash.
Routing Trick
Book a multi-city itinerary from New York (JFK) to Montreal (YUL) to Tokyo (NRT) to Vancouver (YVR) and then back to New York (JFK), which typically costs 100,000 miles as a round-trip to Japan, thereby saving 10,000 miles while visiting two additional cities.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying on United Airlines for domestic routes, as they often charge a $75 close-in booking fee for award tickets purchased within 21 days of departure.
