Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book award flights for popular routes like New York to Miami in early January or late August, as these months often see lower availability and fewer travelers, making it easier to secure seats for around 10,000 miles.

Sweet Spot

You can fly from Boston to Bermuda for just 10,000 AAdvantage miles one-way, which typically costs around $300 in cash.

Routing Trick

Book a flight from Los Angeles (LAX) to Sydney (SYD) via Dallas (DFW) instead of directly from LAX to SYD to save 2,000 miles, as the routing would total approximately 8,000 miles instead of the direct 10,000 miles.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying with American Airlines on transatlantic routes, as they can impose fees up to $450 in surcharges on award tickets.
