Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book award flights to Hawaii from the West Coast (e.g., Seattle to Maui) in late January to early February for the best availability and lower mileage rates.

Sweet Spot

You can fly from Los Angeles to New York City for 30,000 miles with Alaska Airlines, which typically costs around $300 to $400 in cash.

Routing Trick

Book a route from Seattle to Tokyo via Los Angeles instead of directly from Seattle to Tokyo, saving approximately 5,000 miles while taking advantage of Alaska Airlines' distance-based award chart.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid booking flights with American Airlines to Europe, as they can impose high fees, including up to $1,200 in surcharges for international award tickets.
