Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book award flights for popular summer routes, such as New York (JFK) to Paris (CDG), starting in mid-January to mid-February for the best availability and lowest miles required for travel in July and August.

Sweet Spot

You can redeem 250,000 miles for a round-trip business class ticket from the U.S. to Southeast Asia, which typically costs around $4,500 in cash.

Routing Trick

You can book a round-trip business class award from New York (JFK) to Paris (CDG) to Tokyo (NRT) and back to New York via a stopover in Paris for only 125,000 miles, saving 125,000 miles compared to booking separate round trips.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines on routes like Las Vegas to Orlando, where they charge up to $65 for carry-on bags and $50 for checked bags, significantly increasing your travel costs.
