Smart Recommendations

Best Time to Book

Book award flights for the peak summer travel season (June to August) in late January to early February, focusing on popular routes like New York (JFK) to London (LHR) for the best availability.

Sweet Spot

You can book a one-way business class ticket from Los Angeles to Sydney for 70,000 miles, which typically costs around $5,000 in cash.

Routing Trick

Book a round-trip award from Los Angeles (LAX) to Sydney (SYD) via Auckland (AKL) instead of direct, saving approximately 10,000 miles while also allowing for a stopover in New Zealand.

Avoid These Fees

Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines on routes like Las Vegas to Chicago, as they often charge high fees, including a $100 carry-on bag fee and a $50 booking fee for online purchases.
