Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book award flights for peak summer travel (June to August) in early January, especially for popular routes like Seattle to New York, to maximize availability and secure the best options.

Sweet Spot

You can redeem 80,000 Alaska Airlines miles for a round-trip business class ticket from Los Angeles to Sydney, which typically costs around $5,000 in cash.

Routing Trick

You can fly from Los Angeles (LAX) to Sydney (SYD) via Auckland (AKL) for 80,000 miles in business class instead of the usual 90,000 miles direct, saving 10,000 miles while enjoying a stopover in New Zealand.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid booking flights with American Airlines for routes within the U.S. where they charge up to $75 for a same-day change fee, as well as up to $200 for ticket changes, which can significantly increase your overall travel cost.
