Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book award flights for travel to Europe from the U.S. in late January to early February, as airlines typically release more availability during this period due to lower demand.

Sweet Spot

You can fly round-trip from New York (JFK) to Tahiti (PPT) for 100,000 Flying Blue miles, while the typical cash price for this route is around $2,000.

Routing Trick

Book a round-trip from New York (JFK) to Istanbul (IST) via Paris (CDG) instead of directly from JFK to IST, saving 10,000 miles by utilizing the open-jaw routing rule, as the direct route costs 110,000 miles.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines on routes to and from Las Vegas, as they often impose high fees such as a $55 carry-on bag fee and up to $100 for checked baggage, significantly increasing your travel costs.
