Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book award flights to Europe, especially routes like Seattle to London, during the first two weeks of January for the best availability and lowest mileage redemption rates.

Sweet Spot

You can redeem 100,000 Alaska Airlines miles for a round-trip business class ticket from the U.S. West Coast to Tokyo, which typically costs around $5,000 in cash.

Routing Trick

Book a round-trip from Los Angeles (LAX) to Tokyo (NRT) via Seattle (SEA) instead of directly from LAX to NRT, saving 10,000 miles on the 100,000-mile round-trip requirement due to Alaska's routing rules allowing for an open-jaw on the outbound leg.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines, as they charge up to $65 for a carry-on bag and $50 for checked luggage, which can significantly increase your travel costs.
