Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book your award flights for travel to Europe from New York City (JFK) during mid-January to early February, as this is typically when availability is at its peak and demand is lower.

Sweet Spot

You can fly from New York (JFK) to Paris (CDG) for 80,000 miles in business class with Air France, which typically costs around $3,500 in cash.

Routing Trick

You can fly from New York (JFK) to Paris (CDG) to Nairobi (NBO) for 80,000 miles instead of booking a direct flight to Nairobi, which typically costs 90,000 miles, saving you 10,000 miles.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid booking flights with Spirit Airlines, as they charge up to $65 for a carry-on bag and $45 for checked luggage, which can significantly increase your travel costs.
