Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book your award flights for popular routes like Seattle to New York City in late January to early February, as this period typically sees a dip in demand and better availability for award seats.
Sweet Spot
A fantastic redemption is flying from Los Angeles to Sydney for 60,000 miles in business class, which typically costs around $4,500 in cash.
Routing Trick
You can book a round-trip from Los Angeles (LAX) to Tokyo (NRT) via Vancouver (YVR) for 40,000 miles instead of 60,000 miles directly to Tokyo, effectively saving 20,000 miles by taking advantage of Alaska Airlines' routing rules that allow for stopovers in partner cities.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid booking flights on American Airlines routes, as they often charge exorbitant fees; for instance, a one-way ticket from New York to London can incur surcharges of up to $600.
