Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book your award flights for peak summer travel (June to August) at least 6-9 months in advance, especially for popular routes like Seattle to Honolulu, to secure the best availability.

Sweet Spot

You can book a round-trip business class ticket from Los Angeles to Tokyo for just 70,000 Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan miles, whereas the typical cash price for this ticket can exceed $4,000.

Routing Trick

Book a round-trip from Los Angeles (LAX) to Sydney (SYD) with a stopover in Auckland (AKL), allowing you to enjoy an additional destination while only using 40,000 miles instead of the standard 50,000 miles for a direct LAX to SYD round-trip, saving 10,000 miles.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying on American Airlines routes, as they can impose high fees; for instance, a transatlantic flight can incur surcharges of up to $700 in taxes and fees.
