Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book your award flights to Europe from New York City (JFK) in late January to early February, as this is typically when availability opens up for spring travel and airlines often release additional seats.

Sweet Spot

You can redeem 80,000 Flying Blue miles for a round-trip business class ticket from New York (JFK) to Paris (CDG), which typically costs around $2,500 in cash.

Routing Trick

Use your miles for a round-trip ticket from New York (JFK) to Paris (CDG) via Amsterdam (AMS) instead of a direct flight, saving approximately 5,000 miles while still enjoying two layovers in Europe.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid booking flights with Spirit Airlines on routes to Las Vegas, as they often charge high carry-on fees of up to $55 each way, significantly increasing your total travel cost.
