Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book award flights for transatlantic routes, such as New York (JFK) to Paris (CDG), in early January or late August for the best availability and lower mileage redemption.

Sweet Spot

You can fly from New York (JFK) to Paris (CDG) in business class for 200,000 Flying Blue miles, which typically costs around $4,500 in cash.

Routing Trick

Instead of booking a direct round-trip from New York (JFK) to Paris (CDG) for 60,000 miles, consider booking a round-trip from New York (JFK) to Amsterdam (AMS) and then a one-way from Amsterdam (AMS) to Paris (CDG) for a total of 50,000 miles, saving you 10,000 miles while still reaching your desired destination.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying with Ryanair, as they have notorious fees such as €50 for checking in at the airport and up to €30 for cabin baggage, making budget travel potentially expensive.
