Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book your award flights for routes like New York (JFK) to London (LHR) in mid-January to early February, as this period often sees lower demand and better availability for premium cabin seats.

Sweet Spot

A sweet spot is flying from Dallas/Fort Worth to Rio de Janeiro for 60,000 miles in business class, which typically costs around $2,500 in cash.

Routing Trick

Book a round-trip from Los Angeles (LAX) to Tokyo (NRT) via Dallas (DFW) instead of a direct flight, which can save you approximately 10,000 miles due to the routing rules allowing for stopovers.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying with American Airlines on routes to Europe, as they often impose high fees, including up to $1,000 in fuel surcharges on award tickets.
