Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book award flights for peak summer travel (late June to early August) to Europe, specifically on routes like New York (JFK) to Paris (CDG), starting your search in early December of the previous year for the best availability.

Sweet Spot

You can redeem 300,000 Flying Blue miles for a round-trip business class ticket from New York (JFK) to Paris (CDG), which typically costs around $5,000 in cash.

Routing Trick

You can book a round-trip from New York (JFK) to Paris (CDG) to Bangkok (BKK) via Air France for 300,000 miles in business class, which is often cheaper than booking JFK-CDG and a separate CDG-BKK, potentially saving you up to 40,000 miles.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines on routes to Las Vegas, as they often impose high fees, including a $55 carry-on bag fee and a $75 fee for checked bags.
