Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book award flights for peak summer travel to Europe, specifically from mid-June to late August, at least 6-10 months in advance, particularly for popular routes like Seattle to London or San Francisco to Paris, to maximize availability and avoid last-minute scarcity.

Sweet Spot

You can fly round-trip from Los Angeles to Tokyo for 60,000 miles in business class, which typically costs around $5,000 in cash.

Routing Trick

You can book a round-trip from Seattle (SEA) to Tokyo (NRT) via Kuala Lumpur (KUL) for 50,000 miles instead of the typical 60,000 miles for a direct route, saving 10,000 miles while enjoying an additional destination.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines on routes such as Las Vegas to Los Angeles, where they charge up to $65 for a carry-on bag and $50 for checked luggage, significantly increasing your total travel cost.
