Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book your award flights for peak summer travel (June to August) in late January to early February, specifically for routes like New York (JFK) to London (LHR), as this is when availability is often released and can be more favorable before the busy season.

Sweet Spot

You can fly from the U.S. to Australia for 200,000 AAdvantage miles in business class, which typically costs around $6,000 in cash.

Routing Trick

You can fly from Los Angeles (LAX) to Sydney (SYD) via Auckland (AKL) using 200,000 miles instead of the typical 220,000 miles for a direct LAX-SYD round trip, saving 20,000 miles.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying with American Airlines for transatlantic routes, as their fees can reach up to $700 for fuel surcharges alone.
