Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book award flights for travel to Europe from the U.S. during the shoulder season in late September to early October, as this is when availability tends to be more generous and flights less crowded.

Sweet Spot

A sweet spot is flying from New York (JFK) to Tokyo (NRT) for 60,000 miles in Business Class, which typically costs around $3,500 in cash.

Routing Trick

You can fly from San Francisco (SFO) to Tokyo (NRT) via Seattle (SEA) for 50,000 miles round-trip in economy class instead of flying directly for 70,000 miles, saving 20,000 miles.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines on routes to Las Vegas, as they often impose a $45 fee for carry-on luggage and an additional $50 for checked bags, significantly increasing overall travel costs.
