Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book your Alaska Airlines award flights for travel during the off-peak months of January or February, particularly on routes like Seattle to New York, to maximize availability and value.

Sweet Spot

You can fly from Los Angeles to Tokyo for 50,000 miles one-way in business class, which typically costs around $5,000 cash.

Routing Trick

Book a round-trip from Seattle (SEA) to Sydney (SYD) via Los Angeles (LAX) instead of directly from SEA to SYD, saving 10,000 miles as the direct route costs 220,000 miles while the routing through LAX costs only 210,000 miles.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid booking flights on American Airlines routes, particularly those from New York to Los Angeles, as they can have high fees—up to $75 for extra baggage and $200 for changes or cancellations.
