Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book your Alaska Airlines award flights to Hawaii for travel in January or February, as availability is typically best during these months due to lower demand after the holiday season.

Sweet Spot

You can fly from Los Angeles to Cancun for 20,000 miles with Alaska Airlines, which typically costs around $400 in cash.

Routing Trick

Book a route from Seattle (SEA) to Tokyo (NRT) via Los Angeles (LAX) instead of a direct flight, allowing you to save 5,000 miles (25,000 miles direct vs. 20,000 miles with the stopover).

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines on routes to Las Vegas, as they often impose high fees like a $55 charge for carry-on bags and $40 for seat selection, significantly increasing your travel costs.
