Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book your award flights for summer travel to Europe in early January, especially for popular routes like New York to Paris, as availability tends to open up significantly after the holidays.

Sweet Spot

You can redeem 90,000 Flying Blue miles for a one-way business class ticket from New York (JFK) to Paris (CDG), which typically costs around $3,500 in cash, offering exceptional value.

Routing Trick

Book a round-trip from Los Angeles (LAX) to Bangkok (BKK) via Paris (CDG) instead of flying direct, which typically costs 80,000 miles, allowing you to use only 60,000 miles for the same itinerary while enjoying an additional stopover in Paris, saving 20,000 miles.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines on routes to and from Las Vegas, as they charge a whopping $55 for carry-on bags and $65 for checked luggage, which can significantly inflate your travel costs.
