Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book your award flights for domestic routes like Seattle to Los Angeles during the first two weeks of January when demand is typically lower, maximizing your chances of finding availability for just 10,000 miles.

Sweet Spot

You can redeem 10,000 miles for a one-way flight from Seattle to San Francisco, which typically costs around $150 in cash.

Routing Trick

You can book a round-trip from Seattle to Tokyo via Los Angeles and return via Vancouver for only 10,000 miles instead of the standard 20,000 miles for a direct round-trip to Tokyo, saving 10,000 miles while enjoying an additional stop in Canada.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines on routes to Las Vegas, as they often charge up to $65 for carry-on baggage and $50 for checked bags, significantly increasing your total travel cost.
