Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book your award flights on Alaska Airlines for travel to Hawaii in late January or early February, as availability tends to open up significantly after the holiday season, especially for routes from the West Coast like Seattle to Honolulu.
Sweet Spot
You can redeem 50,000 Alaska Airlines miles for a one-way business class ticket from the U.S. West Coast to Tokyo, which typically costs around $3,500 in cash.
Routing Trick
Book a round-trip flight from Los Angeles (LAX) to Tokyo (NRT) via Vancouver (YVR) instead of a direct flight, saving approximately 2,000 miles and allowing an extra stopover in Canada.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines, particularly on routes to and from Las Vegas, as they charge a carry-on fee of up to $65 and a checked bag fee of up to $50 each way, which can significantly increase your travel costs.
